New LinkedIn feature lets you be visible to recruiters but invisible to your boss

It’s difficult to come across as a professional open to new opportunities when you already have an employer. Many prefer not to take risks and decide not to expose themselves as a candidate in search of new challenges.

From now on, it is possible to express your interest to recruiters, without you having to put your professional situation at stake. The professional networking platform LinkedIn is rolling out a feature that allows your profile to be visible to recruiters without fear of attracting suspicion from your current boss.

It's simple, select the "Careers" tab, then click on "Preferences" and slide the button to activate "Let recruiters know you are receptive".

Several preference suggestions are available so that you can specify the vacancies in which you would be interested.

If you want to put the odds on your side to allow your career to reach its full potential, then you will be pleased to learn about LinkedIn's new online learning platform. Recently announced, it allows you to take online training courses to develop your skills in order to stay competitive in the job market.
