Recruiter here. Part of the problem with recruiters is that they are going to reduce you only to what you are and now what you can be. If they are looking for managers, they typically are looking for experienced managers and aren't necessarily trying to identify someone who is prime to move into that role. You should emphasize any leadership experience on your resume and LinkedIn. If you list yourself as a "Full-stack Dev", that is probably all you will get calls about. Call yourself "Lead Dev". It could be risky to mention something like "Interest in management positions" on LinkedIn - depends on who is paying attention to your profile. You could also do some SEO type work on your profile, adding words that recruiters might use to find managers. As an example, recruiters might get a request for a manager that knows about Agile or Scrum. Sneaking in methodology buzzwords could help you appear in those searches, though I'm not sure how likely someone would be to contact you if you didn't give the appearance of someone interested in or capable of managing. You might be better off being proactive and contacting a recruiter directly to get their suggestions and help you market your background to those types of positions. The resume is a much easier item to tackle since it's private. If you are looking for a recruiter, I just released part 2 of a 3 part series on working with recruiters.
