Once you have indicated that you’re open to job opportunities, users of LinkedIn's Recruiter product will be able to find you based on your shared career interests when they're searching for profiles.
Only recruiters who use LinkedIn's Recruiter product will have access to your preferences and career interest information. It won't be added to your LinkedIn.com profile unless you’ve opted to share that you’re open to job opportunities with all members.
We’ll share the following information with recruiters if you've provided it:
-
Flag you as open to hearing about new opportunities
-
Job titles or roles you're interested in
-
If you're open to full-time or contract opportunities
-
Date you flagged yourself as open to new opportunities
In order to protect your privacy, we take steps to keep Recruiter users who work at your company, as well as related companies, from seeing the career interests that you share.
We do this by comparing a unique number (Company ID) assigned to the current employer listed on your profile with the Company ID for recruiters on our network. If a recruiter's Company ID is the same as the current employer listed on your profile, or the same as a company affiliated with that current employer based on our platform mapping, then we won't show your career interest preferences.
We can’t guarantee, however, that every company is accurately identified, or that affiliated companies are accurately mapped on our platform. We also can’t guarantee that every recruiter has an up-to-date and correct Company ID, so there's a small chance that your career interest preferences will be visible to a recruiter at your current employer or an affiliated company.
