LinkedIn Open Profile

What is LinkedIn Open Profile?

LinkedIn Open Profile is a setting available to Premium subscribers that allows anyone on LinkedIn to send you a free InMail message, regardless of connection status. When you enable Open Profile, you are signaling that you welcome messages from people outside your network.

For senders, this means they can message Open Profile users without spending their own InMail credits. For recipients, it increases inbound message volume but also opens the door to more opportunities. You can identify Open Profile users by a small badge or by the ability to message them for free.

Why It Matters

Open Profile users are some of the most accessible people on LinkedIn. For recruiters and sales professionals, identifying Open Profile prospects means you can reach them directly without a connection request or InMail credit. This can significantly expand your addressable audience and reduce the friction of initial outreach.
