How can you hide your profile on LinkedIn?

Invisible profile

Content: This opens a new window specifically to edit your profile and profile settings. Look to the right side of your screen and locate the options available for profile settings. In this area, you can change your custom URL, edit content and edit the visibility settings. To make your profile invisible, turn off the public visibility option. You can also customize which aspects of the profile are visible and who can see them rather than making the entire profile private. For example, you can limit visibility to your existing connections or your existing network. The network includes 2nd and 3rd degree connections. You also have the ability to remove visibility on specific aspects of the profile. You can remove job history, profile photo and specific pieces of content by removing the blue dots from the associated boxes listed in the editing box. Andy Foote

You can’t hide your profile but you can anonymize all of the identifiable details for example, remove your headshot, hide your last name (so Paul Smith becomes Paul S.), change your headline to “Employee at Anonymous Co”, put a 1 line summary “Working at stealth X”, hide your network from itself (no one would see your connections but you), make your LinkedIn public profile ‘private’ (not indexed by search engines).
