Use this step-by-step demo to learn how to enable open to work on LinkedIn.
  1. To enable Open to Work on LinkedIn, click the ‘Open to’ button located below your profile photo on your profile page.

  3. Specify and customize the types of work you are open to, including your personal preferences, to enhance job-matching opportunities.
  4. Select ‘Save’ to confirm and save your preferences.

📌 Why this matters

Enabling this feature signals to recruiters that you're actively seeking opportunities, making you discoverable in their candidate searches. Your customized preferences act as a filter, ensuring you only receive relevant job matches rather than generic postings. Beyond visibility, LinkedIn's algorithm prioritizes profiles with this status when suggesting candidates to hiring managers, giving you a competitive edge. The feature also creates a feedback loop where engagement with job-related content increases your profile's reach, amplifying your professional presence across the platform's network of decision-makers.
