Block or unblock a member

Last updated: 2 months ago
You can block a member from viewing your profile using your desktop or mobile device. Once you've blocked a member, they'll appear on your blocked list. The blocked member won't receive any notification of this action.
Notes
  • If you’re blocking someone that you currently or previously have shared a LinkedIn Recruiter account with, we reserve the right to notify this member of your block.

  • You can block up to 1500 members on LinkedIn.

  • You’ll have to wait 48 hours before re-blocking the same member after unblocking.
  • Recommendations from members you block will no longer appear in your profile. At this time, recommendations from a member you blocked cannot be reinstated if you unblock them.
