With concrete numbers, time frames and results instead of task lists. Formula: Verb + activity + measurable result. Example: 'Scaled team size from 6 to 12 and reduced delivery time by 35%' instead of 'team leadership and process optimisation'. LinkedIn Economic Graph data (2025) shows that candidate profiles with quantified results receive 40% more recruiter enquiries. Caveat: Not every role has easily quantifiable results — qualitative descriptions are then legitimate but should be specific ('Introduced the new onboarding process for 200 employees'). If exact figures aren't possible: Use approximations ('approx. 150 customer contacts per month', 'budget in the mid-six-figure range').
