Also, any other tricks to attract recruiters to your profile (other than keywords)?

There are two different "open to work" indicators in LinkedIn. There is the green banner that circles your picture - everyone can see that.
There is an "open to work" indicator that you can toggle on within your profile that can seen by recruiters who have a LinkedIn Recruiter license. Not all recruiters have a LI Recruiter license.

Yes, it is safe. The only internal recruiters that can see the recruiter one are the ones that DO NOT work at your current employer. They are blocked from seeing that.
