Hello,

I am currently an Executive Director at a small non-profit in a small town. The organization is sponsored by a large, financial institution.

I am ready to move on but would like to do so discreetly. How do I show I am looking on social media like LinkedIn without attracting the attention of my sponsor's recruiters. I would like to be open to recruiters being able to find me.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

LinkedIn premium. They said it’s an open to work via recruiters only button. Also maybe block your present company as well.

Maybe block your company from your account? Don't know if it will work but it's an idea.

Hello,

I just asked this very same question yesterday in the Career Pivot Bowl. I did get some responses, but not many concrete suggestions. I think this is hard for many of us. I have reached out to recruiters and staffing agents with my resume, but other than that... I stumped as well on how to discreetly post being open to new opportunities.

If I come across any ideas or suggestions, I will come back to your post and share.

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize you could "block" companies on Linkedin. I will look into that as well as premium membership benefits which I have been considering. If I figure anything out, I will share.

If you are planning on staying in the same industry/sector I would suggest looking into professional communities on LinkedIn that you can join where you can openly share that you're on the market. Also, connect directly with former colleagues.

Worse they say We'll check or get back to you. But never come back. Luckily I got selected into a tier-1 company and their Recruiter ignored me once 😂. I am gonna personally meet that recruiter on Day1.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
