You've applied and heard nothing back. Not a no — nothing. The question that keeps you up isn't whether they liked you. It's whether they ever saw you at all.
Rejection is information. Silence isn't. This ends the guessing.
Those two need opposite fixes. If recruiters are seeing you and passing, you need a stronger case. If they were never shown you at all, your case is irrelevant — nobody read it.
Right now you have no way to tell which one you're living. So you do the only thing available: apply to more things. Which, if the second one is true, changes nothing.
You did not appear in the 210-result search. Removing the Job Titles filter admitted you at rank 47 of 1,180 — so that one field is what excluded you. The ten profiles ranked highest all carry the exact string "Head of Corporate Communications". Yours reads "Communications leader | Storyteller | Strategist."
LinkedIn's own published research says its recruiter ranking is trained to predict whether a candidate will reply to a message — not whether they're the best fit. Two equally qualified people don't rank equally.

Every Check publishes the full query — the exact filters, the tier, the date, the result count. Run it yourself if you want to. A published query can be checked; a claim can only be believed.
Run manually, in a paid seat. No scraping, no bots, no extraction tools. A person builds the search and runs it, at your request.
Scope is always declared. Search tiers see different slices of LinkedIn. Yours states which tier ran it. If you fall outside that tier's reach, you're reported as out of scope — never as absent.
One filter at a time. Filters come off one by one until you appear. The first removal that admits you is the thing excluding you. That's a cause, not a guess.
What this doesn't claim. It measures whether you get found. Not whether you get hired. Anyone promising the second from a profile edit is selling you something.

Additional roles S$29 each, once your first Check is delivered
On the queue: searches run in batches by role — everyone chasing the same title, market and level goes into one run. That batching is why it costs S$49 rather than what an hour of manual searching normally costs. You'll get a delivery date when you order, and we'll email you if it moves. Not sure yet?
