Important to know
LinkedIn will not record recruiter calls even if your device requests recording permission.
You can now optimize your chances of landing your next job by allowing recruiters to call directly through the LinkedIn mobile app. This allows hirers to call you about potential job opportunities without the need for your phone number.
Note: You can only opt in and opt out from the LinkedIn mobile app. This feature is not available through a web browser.
In order to enable recruiter calls, you must opt in to receiving the calls.
