LinkedIn Headshots

Why are LinkedIn headshots important?

Like it or not, LinkedIn has become a crucial part of business networking. Candidates for new jobs are thoroughly vetted these days and that process begins with LinkedIn, and your LinkedIn profile might say a lot about you.

Statistics show that LinkedIn members with a photo receive far more engagement: 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests. When you dress sharply to a job interview, you're telling the employer you mean business before even speaking a word.

First Impressions are VERY Important

Traditionally headshots were reserved for industries like acting but LinkedIn changed all that. With the rise of online recruiting and networking came the need to create LinkedIn profiles but most people neglect their profile photo. We’ve seen so many inappropriate profile photos - pictures from weddings, selfies and photos with other people. It’s very acceptable to have a silly photo on Facebook or Instagram, but it doesn’t work so well on LinkedIn.

You never get a second chance at a first impression. The first thing potential connections see is your headshot. This can have huge consequences as recruiters scroll past your photo because it’s unprofessional or simply doesn’t stand out. We can fix that!
