Methodology and Best Practices
Every executive on our lists was selected through a manual review process. We evaluate the full profile from photo, headline, About section, Featured section, Experience, activity, to engagement, against clear, role-specific standards. No profile makes the list by accident.
If you want to understand exactly how we evaluate profiles and what we look for in each section, these two pages explain our process in detail:
- How We Choose Executives for Our LinkedIn Lists — our selection criteria, what we consider required, and how we evaluate activity by role
- LinkedIn Profile Best Practices for CEOs and Executives — a detailed breakdown of what makes each section of a LinkedIn profile strong
At ProResource, we have spent more than 15 years helping executives use LinkedIn to build trust, clarify their leadership message, and become more visible to the people who matter. We have worked with more than 2,500 executives, most in the tech industry, so we know what separates an ordinary presence from an excellent one. In building these lists over the years, we have reviewed close to 100,000 profiles, and have created these lists to recognize excellence and help other leaders see what is possible when LinkedIn is used with intention.
