How To Let Recruiters Know You Re-Open On Linkedin

You must inform recruiters (and, if you choose, your LinkedIn network) that you are available for work. LinkedIn’s configurable Open to Work feature makes this a breeze for you.

From the dropdown menu, choose Settings & Privacy. At the top of the page, select the Privacy tab. Change next to Change in the Job Seeking Preferences section. Make it clear to recruiters that you’re interested in new opportunities. To appear in recruiter searches matching your job interests, set the toggle to Yes and disclose that you’re available.

Select View Profile from the drop-down menu next to your profile photo. In your introduction card, press the Open to button (at the top of your profile). In the screen that appears, fill in the needed information. You can choose whether everyone on LinkedIn can see that you’re looking for work or only recruiters.

It’s great if you use your LinkedIn profile to announce a new job within the first 1 to 3 weeks of work. You should make the announcement after the prior employment expires but before the new position starts, if possible.

It’s not ideal that LinkedIn provides a generic open-to-work post. It’s impersonal and intended to be a jumping-off place, but it’s missing some key details. You can produce a targeted public post that is significantly more effective whether you’re open to work for everyone or just recruiters.

Send a message to the recruiter detailing your experience, qualifications, and what you’re searching for in a few succinct phrases, as well as attaching your CV. Inquire if a phone call between the two of you would be beneficial.

You must have jobs advertised on LinkedIn before you can launch a sponsored job campaign. After that, choose the job(s) you’d want to sponsor, as well as a bid, or cost per click, and a budget. When a candidate clicks to view your sponsored jobs, you pay your bid amount under a pay-per-click model.

You may now use LinkedIn’s Open To Work function to let recruiters know you’re available for new opportunities. You can use this tool to let recruiters know you’re looking for work without letting your current employer know… at least in principle.

The recruiter may go due to a shift in priorities, a hectic schedule, an influx of internal recommendations, or simply a lack of professionalism. As a result, don’t take it too seriously. And if you’ve been ghosted by a recruiter, don’t be discouraged; it’s all part of the job-hunting process.
