LinkedIn & Buyside Recruitment

I recently saw on my linkedin that a buyside recruiter had dropped by my Linkedin page. I was pleasantly surprised by this as his firm is very reputable and I would not say that I'm at a "target" firm/group

I was wondering if anyone had any insight in to -

  • Does this mean anything at all? (My gut instinct is no, this guy is cruising linked in 24/7)
  • Is there anything that one can do to make ones linkedin more attractive to buyside recruiters? (aside from changing firm name hah-hah)

I was told by our compliance department that having too much detail about transaction experience etc could come across as unapproved firm marketing and get us in trouble with the regulators.

I would appreciate any informed insights...
