The Power of LinkedIn Comments: How to Get Noticed by Recruiters

If you’re only posting updates on LinkedIn but not engaging with others, you’re missing out on a key opportunity. LinkedIn research shows that professionals who regularly comment on posts receive 5x more profile views—a major boost if you're job hunting.

Why Comments Matter

Recruiters and industry leaders take note of insightful contributions. When you leave thoughtful comments, you:

✅ Get your name seen by hiring managers.

✅ Show expertise without needing to post original content.

✅ Start valuable networking conversations.

How to Write High-Impact Comments

🔹 Be specific – Instead of “Great post!”, add an insight or personal experience.

🔹 Ask questions – Encourage dialogue with the original poster.

🔹 Engage with industry leaders – Comment on content from recruiters, executives, and company pages.

💡 Pro Tip: If you're transitioning from the military, relate your experience to the topic discussed in a post. For example, if someone shares a leadership tip, add how it applies to military training.
