How to Hide from Recruiters

Note: This was written in 2018 when the hiring market was significantly different from 2025.

If you're looking to minimize unsolicited attention from recruiters, consider the following steps:

Adjust Your LinkedIn Settings: Navigate to privacy settings and select options that limit visibility to recruiters.
Use Generic Job Titles: Instead of specific titles, use broader terms that are less likely to attract recruiter searches.
Limit Online Presence: Reduce the amount of personal information available on public platforms.
Network Selectively: Engage with professionals and communities relevant to your current interests, avoiding broader exposure.

By implementing these measures, you can maintain a lower profile and reduce unsolicited job offers.
