UK Recruitment Glossary
Open to Work (LinkedIn)
In recruiter context
Two flavours: the green badge that everyone sees, and the recruiter-only flag that nobody but paid LinkedIn Recruiter users see. The recruiter-only flag is the better choice for most employed candidates — it gets you sourced without your boss noticing. The public badge is fine if you're already openly looking, between roles, or career-pivoting.
