What can recruiters see in Linkedin?

I always check the profile of recruiters on LinkedIn.

I am typically looking for someone who has changed jobs and careers several times in the past few years and has an extensive history of posting photos of themselves inappropriately dressed at industry event.

The more stints done at Walkabout the better IMO

it is a bit curious (and frustrating) to see how my thread is provoking aggressive reactions. i guess it's time for me to go back to keeping a low profile on the forum

It is a bit curious to see how you don't want to answer simple questions, but hey ho, that's your choice.

Not really. You've not explained how it is unfair that someone who pays money should have an advantage over someone who doesn't.
You've also assumed what information is shared to those who pay.

That post was utterly incoherent

I can see an argument that it's unfair if you could pay a fee and effectively get told 'Your CV isn't good enough compared to others that have been submitted', allowing you to redo CV and compare again. It's pay to win.

However I'm not sure Linkedin really works like that. I assume it's just doing keyword scanning.

I wonder what recruiters can see from you in Linkedin? can they see the list of your applications, for example? my guess was always that no. But having received offers for a premium on linkedin where i can check how i compare with others candidates, which i think it is unfair the least, wonder if they have similar unfair services for a premium in the other side...

Are you worried about internal receruiters? There are many companies who have their own talent acquisition teams, which have their recruiter options on LinkedIn. It is possible then for an internal Talent Acquistion to see when Biergarten has flagged "Open To Work". I am not sure though if notifications are sent beyond your connections. When you do select "Open To Work", Linkedin will spam you with "Project Manager", if that is the last role / most recent role in the title that you have in your profile. Whether Premium makes any different to that, who knows?

Once upon a time during a banking job redundancy, I had the pleasure sitting through 1-2 hours with a "so called" expert on Linkedin: How hunt that job on Linkedin?. I learnt that they keep changing the platform month to month. She didnt even know some things that were state of the art.

I guess recruiters are swamped right now. So if you leave Open To Work always on, it might be spam, it might not be. If you have a very niche skill probably I'd leave it on so you can jump ship. World is in a crazy place right now, but on rare chances crazy opportunities knocks.
