Share and manage your resumes with recruiters

Last updated: 2 weeks ago

Discover more opportunities and increase your chances of getting hired with LinkedIn’s resume sharing feature. Once enabled, your profile will appear in search results when recruiters search for skills, experiences, education, and accomplishments that match data found in resumes that you’ve saved over the past 2 years. You must have at least one saved resume to enable this feature. Recruiters will not have access to your full resume unless you provide it to them directly, including by applying for a job. See the article linked below for more information on visibility and usage of your uploaded resume.

Important to know

To protect your privacy, we take steps to prevent LinkedIn Recruiter users who work at your company and related companies from seeing that you have shared a resume. We take the current company on your LinkedIn profile marked as "I am currently working here" to know who to hide your resume information from, however, we can’t guarantee complete privacy. For more information, check out the links below.

After applying for a job on LinkedIn, you’ll be presented with a prompt to share your resume data with all recruiters, and the Share resume data with recruiters toggle will be turned on. You can either turn it off from the prompt, the Job application settings page, or the Resumes and application data page.  

To opt-in/out of resume sharing from your Preferences settings, take the following steps: 

  1. Navigate to the Jobs tab.

  2. Click on Preferences.

  3. In the pop-up modal, click on Resumes and application data.

  4. Toggle on Share resume data with recruiters to access the resume sharing feature.

  5. Toggle off Share resume data with recruiters to stop sharing.

To manage your resumes through your Preferences settings: 

  1. Navigate to the Jobs tab.

  2. Click on Preferences.

  3. In the pop-up modal, click on Resumes and application data.

  4. Upload a new resume by clicking Upload resume.
