Top Bucket - Include on Resume/LinkedIn, or Nah?

Would it be cringe as a top bucket analyst to list something along the lines of "Consistently awarded highest possible performance ranking (top ~3%)" on your resume? ... What about on your LinkedIn profile? (not in a LinkedIn post, header, or bio, but under your current role description and not as the first line)

The rationale would be it *might* generate more recruiter interest... however, it could also come off as cringe to certain folks I'm sure. Curious what the WSO sentiment is on the subject.

You'll look like an absolute douche nozzle. Just mention it once you actually get on a call with a recruiter or interviewer. Even then, if you're actually talking to a company representative don't make a whole thing about it just casually slip in the detail that you have learned a lot, love the gig and consistently been ranked in the top bucket but are looking to transition because blah blah blah.
