FAQs

How do I indicate remote work on LinkedIn? ›

To position yourself as a remote work candidate, optimize your LinkedIn profile to showcase your remote work experience, skills, and remote-friendly traits. Include specific keywords such as "remote work," "virtual collaboration," and "telecommuting" in your profile.

You can search for remote based or “Work from Home” jobs on LinkedIn that suit your skills and qualifications.

A remote job is a job that is done outside of a traditional office setting. This means that employees can work from home, a coffee shop, a coworking space, or anywhere else that has an internet connection. Remote jobs are becoming increasingly popular due to the flexibility and convenience they offer.

The workforce still wants flexibility

“Demand for remote work continues to outstrip supply heading into 2024,” LinkedIn's Chief Economist, Karin Kimbrough, explains. Just 10% of U.S. job postings on LinkedIn in December were for remote jobs — and those postings received 46% of all applications.

Forbes magazine said it's finding 23 percent fewer listings for full-time remote work compared with the spring of 2023, and those numbers were already down from 2022. Instead, many companies have shifted to hybrid work, with 3-4 days in the office and 1-2 days each week at home.

Select "Recruiters only" to keep your search discreet. LinkedIn specifically aims to hide your "Open to Work" status from employees (including internal recruiters) at your current company. This is done by excluding your current company from the list of recruiters who can see your status.

List the organization's corporate location when using a city/state format, but note that the work is performed remotely in the first sentence or bullet point. Skip city/state in the formatting and note that it is work that is performed remotely in the first sentence. List “Remote Work” in place of city/state.

What should I put for location on LinkedIn? ›

A valid location is a city, county, state, territory, or country. For On-site and Hybrid jobs, you'll need to specify a city or metro-region. You can also add a specific job location address. For Remote jobs, you can choose to specify a city, metro, state, or country.

Title and Company: Use the title to describe your role or the type of freelance work you do, and use the "Company" field to mention your freelancing business name or simply use "Freelancer."
