how to turn off open to work on linkedin
Quick Scoop
To turn off Open to Work on LinkedIn, go to your profile, find the Open to Work section, click the pencil/edit icon, and choose Delete or remove the setting from your job preferences. On the mobile app, you may need to open your profile, tap the Open to Work area, then delete it from there.
Steps
- Open your LinkedIn profile.
- Find the Open to Work box or banner under your profile photo.
- Click the pencil icon to edit your job preferences.
- Select Delete or Delete from profile , then confirm.
If you only want privacy
If you want to keep using Open to Work but hide it from most people, change visibility to Recruiters only instead of deleting it completely. That removes the public green banner while still letting recruiters see it.
Common issue
Some users say the option is easy to miss because LinkedIn places it in the profile intro area, and on mobile it may appear under profile photo options like Add frame or inside the jobs/preferences area.
Small note
LinkedIn’s help page confirms the feature exists for letting recruiters know you are open to work, and the interface can vary a bit between desktop and mobile.
TL;DR
Go to your profile, open Open to Work , edit it, and hit Delete to remove it completely, or switch to Recruiters only if you just want to hide it publicly.
