To limit what advertisers learn about you, click the Ads tab at the top of the Settings menu, and adjust each setting however you want. Keep in mind that even if you deactivate everything on this tab, you'll still see ads on LinkedIn. However, they will no longer be based on your personal information. If you want to control who can see your Activity feed and Connections or block certain people from seeing your profile, consider using LinkedIn's privacy settings.
These settings can be useful if you're searching for a new job while you're still employed and want to make sure your current employer isn't notified of your profile changes. To stop broadcasting your profile changes to your connections, click the Privacy tab in the Settings menu, then scroll down and click Share job changes, education changes, and work anniversaries from profile.
Click the button so it reads No , and your connections will no longer be notified of your profile changes. You may also want to limit how LinkedIn uses the data collected on you.
Under the Privacy tab in the Settings menu, click How LinkedIn uses your data on the left side of the window. You can then adjust these settings however you want. Our recommendation: We recommend that you set this to show your name and headline so that you have the ability to gather leads about the people who choose to view your profile.
And to me, that says they may want to talk to you and about a job you may have on offer. Ever wondered how you rank in searches? Would your profile appear towards the top of list or towards the bottom? Well, LinkedIn allows you to make a pretty good guesstimate, by telling you how your profile ranks in relation to your connections.
In there, you can see exactly where you rank in the percentage of all your connections and what number you are out of all your connections, your company, and professionals like you. LinkedIn will also give you some tips as to how to improve your ranking:. Our recommendation: Leave it on. But the question is, do you just want to give that away? Why do I ask? Well, at the moment one of the default settings on your LinkedIn profile is making your connections available for anyone to see.
How can they see this? All they need to do is click on the number of connections you have, as detailed on your LinkedIn profile, and they will be brought to a list of all your connections where they can view and search them:.
Our recommendation: Leaving your valuable network of connections available for anyone to view is of no benefit to you. So we recommend disabling this feature and making your connection visible to you and you alone. But the good news is, it is within your power to fully control which emails you get from LinkedIn and when you get them. When a list of new options entitled Which emails do you want to receive? For more granular details, click the Details option next to each email categories and select from a variety of options.
For example, within my Invitations category I can see all the different types of emails LinkedIn can send me in relation to this category including invitations to connect and invitations to join groups. You definitely want to know when someone adds you as a connection or when someone sends you a message or an InMail, or requests an Introduction! You will also want to know when anything important happens on LinkedIn like if someone has accepted your connection request, so be sure to set Individual Emails for most the Activity Notifications.
Just go through the list and single out the ones you think are most relevant to you. Well, you have one of those on your profile as well, and when you reach out to a candidate they may check to see how should they reach out to you.
When presented with a list of options make sure every relevant option to you is ticked and your personal custom advice message is filled out:. A recruiter looking for a new job while contacting candidates may give off the wrong signals!
Our recommendation: For compliance reasons, if you feel it applies to you, your jurisdiction or within your company, we recommend you select the No one option when using LinkedIn to search for candidates. On LinkedIn, everyone has one default email address. And this is how you do just that.
This will open a dialog box with a list of email addresses LinkedIn already has for you, and from here you can easily make a different email address your primary address, add a new email address remember you will need to verify it , or remove an email address:.
You may be surprised at just how many email addresses LinkedIn actually has against your name when altering this section. Our recommendation: Always back up your LinkedIn account with a second and possibly third email, especially if your LinkedIn account is connected to a work email address.
