Recruiter keywords for resume and LinkedIn
Recruiter searches are meta: the searchers know exactly how search works. Hiring teams query full cycle, technical recruiting, or executive search plus an ATS like greenhouse or ashby. Sourcing tools signal capability, linkedin recruiter, seekout, gem, and boolean itself is a searchable skill. Volume and specialty numbers separate profiles: hires per quarter, time to fill, offer acceptance rate. Name the roles you fill, because recruiting engineers and recruiting nurses are different markets.

Where these belong
Recruit yourself the way you recruit others: full cycle plus specialty in the headline, ats and sourcing tools in the Skills section, metrics in About. You already know screeners match exact strings, so mirror listing language with Resume Keyword Match. The LinkedIn Boolean Search Builder is also handy for testing how a profile like yours surfaces.
Honesty rule: add a term only if it is true of you. Keyword coverage opens doors; interviews walk through them.
