## Consequence table
- **LinkedIn — Open to Work: all LinkedIn members.** Who sees what: All members, including recruiters and people at your current company; adds the #OpenToWork photo frame.

- **LinkedIn — Open to Work: recruiters only.** Who sees what: People using LinkedIn Recruiter. LinkedIn says it takes steps to hide the signal from Recruiter users at your current company.

- **LinkedIn — Open to Work: visible only to you.** Who sees what: Nobody; preferences only tailor your job recommendations. What it does not protect: Does not signal anything to recruiters. Source: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a507508 (checked 2026-11-06)
- **Indeed (GB) — Employers can't find you (default).** Who sees what: Employers can contact you only if you applied to their job; they cannot see your job search activity.

- **Indeed (GB) — Employers can find you.** Who sees what: Searchable profile: city and region, resume details (experience, education, skills, certifications), qualifications, online status; your name only after you reply to a message. What it does not protect: Employers who received your resume before you changed settings may still see it; search history, alerts and saved jobs stay private.

## Two fictional examples
- Priya is employed and quietly job hunting on LinkedIn in the UK. She chooses recruiters only, records that LinkedIn takes steps to hide the signal from Recruiter users at her employer but cannot guarantee it, and keeps applications off a shared device.
- Tom applied to three roles through Indeed UK while his profile was searchable. He changes to Employers can't find you and records that the three employers who already received his resume may still see it; the change does not withdraw those applications.
