The Stealth Job Search: How to Job Hunt Privately on LinkedIn
1. Hide your activity updates
2. Remain private while viewing others’ profiles
3. Join new groups, but keep your memberships private
4. Contact people privately for networking
5. Choose the premium LinkedIn badge

Content: However, if you are viewing the profiles of people who know your employer, and you are concerned they will discover you’ve viewed their profiles often and connect back with your boss about it, you have options. In the same Privacy & Settings area, click on the “Select what others see when you’ve viewed their profile” link. Here you can change the way you appear in others’ “Who’s Viewed Your Profile” area so that you will remain anonymous. Note: Unless you are a Job Seeker Premium subscriber, when you switch to an anonymous status you will no longer be able to track “Who’s Viewed Your Profile” and Profile Stats for yourself, so carefully consider this option and switch out of it as soon as your research is done. 3. Join new groups, but keep your memberships private
One of the most effective ways to land your next gig is through networking. One great way to make new connections is by joining LinkedIn Groups, such as your university alumni groups and industry networks. However, if you are joining many new groups, or groups related to an industry you are hoping to transition into, you may raise some red flags with your current boss or colleagues. Fortunately, as you join groups relevant to your new career interests, you have the option to hide those new memberships so they do not appear on your Profile and your activity in those groups is not broadcast to your network.
