LINKEDIN• “Open Candidate”

• The feature acts like an on-off switch that members can access for free within the “Preferences” tab on the Jobs home page.

• Companies need a “Recruiter” subscription to view users’ status.


LINKEDIN’S OPEN CANDIDATE• Lets users secretly indicate to recruiters that they’re interested in new job opps• Can privately share details about the types of roles they’d consider.• Users can also share preferences such as desired job title, location and company size• Kept private from professionals’ current employer.• LinkedIn said users who opt-in to the new tool are twice as likely to respond to a message from

a recruiter than the average LinkedIn member. • The new tool should help recruiters find interested candidates more quickly and spend more

efficiently on LinkedIn “InMail” messages to workers. And for users who opt-in, the tool should help make messages from recruiters more relevant. The feature begins launching on Thursday in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia, and LinkedIn said it plans to roll out the feature globally soon. LinkedIn has about 450 million users and currently lists more than 6 million jobs.
