Can employers see your linkedin mail

LinkedIn is a professional networking platform, and as such, it has some unique features and settings that can affect your privacy. Here's what you need to know:

Can employers see your LinkedIn email?

By default, your LinkedIn email address is not publicly visible to others on the platform. Only your connections (people you've accepted as friends or colleagues) can see your email address.

However, there are a few scenarios where your LinkedIn email might be visible to others:

  1. If you've shared your email address in your LinkedIn profile: If you've explicitly added your email address to your LinkedIn profile, it will be visible to anyone who views your profile.
  2. If you've connected with someone who has your email address: If you've connected with someone who has your email address, they may be able to see it in your connection list.
  3. If you've applied for a job or responded to a job posting: When you apply for a job or respond to a job posting on LinkedIn, your email address may be shared with the employer or recruiter. This is because LinkedIn allows employers to contact you directly through the platform.
  4. If you've opted-in to receive emails from LinkedIn: If you've opted-in to receive emails from LinkedIn (e.g., job recommendations, company updates, or newsletters), your email address may be shared with third-party companies or organizations.

How to control your LinkedIn email visibility

To control who can see your LinkedIn email address, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your LinkedIn profile and click on the "Edit public profile & URL" button.
  2. Scroll down to the "Contact info" section.
  3. Click on the three dots next to your email address and select "Edit".
  4. Toggle the switch next to "Email address" to "Private" to hide your email address from public view.

By default, your LinkedIn email address is set to "Private", so you don't need to worry about it being publicly visible. However, it's always a good idea to review your profile settings and adjust them according to your comfort level.
