> I learned from a recruiter years ago that the most valuable part of your LI profile is … your connections number.

How long ago was this? I’ve been talking to lots of recruiters and the most common points I hear are

- add every skill

- keywords in your descriptions so you show up in searches

- gaps and job tenure

Remote jobs apparently get a ton of fake candidates so some recruiters have started checking for verification and profile age as additional signals.
