LinkedIn Recruiter now offers two powerful filters – Expected Salary and Notice Period – to help you refine candidate searches by compensation expectations and availability. These filters allow all recruiters to target candidates residing in India who meet their budget and timing needs. By leveraging information that candidates share via the #OpenToWork feature, you can quickly home in on prospects who are both ready to move and aligned with your offer. The result is a more efficient hiring process and better matches for your roles.
Salary and Notice Period filters
| Filter | What it shows | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Expected Salary | Candidate’s expected annual salary | Avoid late-stage mismatches by focusing on candidates whose expectations align with your budget |
| Notice period | Candidate’s availability to start (e.g., immediately, 1 month, 2 months) | Prioritize candidates who can join within your required timeframe |
These filters are visible only to recruiters and help you quickly narrow down your search to candidates who are both qualified and ready to engage. They’re especially useful for time-sensitive roles or when budget constraints are tight.
Best practices
We recommend you follow these tips to optimize your use of Expected Salary and Notice Period filters.
- Use realistic salary ranges to avoid filtering out strong candidates.
- Combine filters with skills, experience, and location to build a highly targeted pipeline.
- Treat expectations as flexible—use the filters to start conversations, not end them.
These enhancements make it easier to connect with candidates who are ready to move and more likely to accept your offer. Use them to streamline your sourcing and reduce time-to-hire.
