You can block a member from viewing your profile using your desktop or mobile device. Once you've blocked a member, they'll appear on your blocked list. The blocked member won't receive any notification of this action.
Notes
- If you’re blocking someone that you currently or previously have shared a LinkedIn Recruiter account with, we reserve the right to notify this member of your block.
- There is no limit to how many members you can block.
- You’ll have to wait 48 hours before re-blocking the same member after unblocking.
- Recommendations from members you block will no longer appear in your profile. At this time, recommendations from a member you blocked cannot be reinstated if you unblock them.
- If you have blocked more than 2000 members, you may not be able to unblock someone you have previously blocked. You can contact support for help unblocking.
