Steps

  1. On your LinkedIn profile page, select the 'Open to' button located under your profile photo and name.
  2. Choose the specific 'Open to' option you want to activate from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the 'Finding a job' option, edit your job-search preferences and target role information.
  4. Click 'Save' to apply your job-seeking preferences.
  5. In the 'Hiring' option, enter the job title you are hiring for and follow the on-screen steps.
  6. Review your job settings and click 'Continue' to proceed.
  7. In the 'Providing services' option, update your service information and click 'Publish'.
  8. In 'Finding volunteer opportunities', explore roles that match your skills and interests.
  9. Once done, click 'Save' to confirm your volunteer preferences.

📌 Why this matters

The LinkedIn Open to Network feature is a powerful profile signal that helps job seekers, freelancers, and hiring managers communicate their availability directly on the world's largest professional network. By enabling the correct 'Open to' setting — whether for finding a job, hiring talent, providing services, or volunteering — users increase their visibility to the right people without sending a single message. This built-in LinkedIn tool streamlines professional networking and accelerates career opportunities by making your status instantly discoverable by recruiters and collaborators.
