You can check if recruiters have viewed your profile here: [https://www.theladders.com/notifications](https://www.theladders.com/notifications)

Or click the bell icon in the upper-right corner of any page. This will open your Notifications page, where you’ll see all recent activity, including which recruiters have viewed your profile.

When a recruiter views your profile, you typically would receive an email notification.

If you are not being contacted by recruiters, the most common reason is that your resume may not be fully optimized. Recruiters rely heavily on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and resumes that don’t align with ATS standards are often overlooked.
