Is LinkedIn Safe? What Every Job Seeker Needs to Know Now
Friday, 1 May, 2026

I know it’s been a while, but I’m back, ready to serve up advice, instruction, food for thought, and all else in between. This week, my friend Kevin D. Turner is my guest. He was actually on my LinkedIn live back in December, but I thought his advice was relevant for all job seekers. Here’s what you should know about Kevin: Fortune 50 Sales & Marketing Management to Venture Capital (VP), to Public & Private Turnarounds (CEO & VP), executively leading a Non-Profit 50 internationally into 140 countries (International Director). He’s helped thousands with LinkedIn profile optimizations. Held Sales, Marketing, and Branding leadership roles with SONY, Stone VC, Thomas Nelson, TurneRRounD, American Teachers, American Heart Association, & TNT Brand Strategist. Director of International Development for the American Heart Association. Here are a few of Kevin’s main points: Open to Work and the LinkedIn verification process. LinkedIn Recruiting tool and its safety concerns. Impersonations of legitimate career services professionals. Scammers’ use of emerging technology makes fake profiles look legit. LinkedIn, like many sites with jobs, has had data breaches or exposure. The post Is LinkedIn Safe? What Every Job Seeker Needs to Know Now first appeared on The Voice of Job Seekers.
