LinkedIn has updated its popular Open to Work feature, giving jobseekers a way to communicate their availability and preferences to potential employers. Users can now add their notice period and expected salary to their profiles. LinkedIn says that this information is visible only to recruiters, keeping it private from other users. The addition is said to help streamline the hiring process by allowing recruiters to identify candidates who can join sooner and match budget expectations, reducing back-and-forth about timelines and compensation.

LinkedIn Says Notice Period, Salary Expectations Will Only Be Shown to Recruiters

After updating its Open to Work feature, LinkedIn says that users can now share their notice period and expected salary, giving them more control and transparency in the hiring process, the company said on Thursday.

The notice period and expected annual salary are optional details, according to the company. They will be visible only to recruiters, even if the badge is public. LinkedIn says candidates who clearly define their desired roles, update key profile details, and activate the Open to Work feature are significantly more likely to receive callbacks. The company adds that enabling the feature can double the chances of getting messages from recruiters.
