Not sure how much money this will make for LinkedIn. I can't see the benefit of spending up to $50 per month to help recruiters find me? Here are the "so called" benefits;
Get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers with a Job Seeker Badge1 WOW - a badge???!!!? Really? For me? If you're currently employed do you want your current employer to know you're actively seeking a role?
Zero in on $100K plus jobs with detailed salary information2 What if you don't make 100k? And are there really that many companies that release detailed confidential information about their remuneration structure
Move to the top of the list as a Featured Applicant Is this confirming that recruiters are bad at handling applications and reaching out to candidates?
Contact anyone directly with InMail --They claim that 5 inmails are worth $50, which I can't understand. If the person's details are not on their profile, all you need to do is join a group they're already in and you can message them through the common affiliation
Who's Viewed My Profile: Get the full list This is only useful if the people who looked at your profile have their profile configured in a way to identify themselves when looking at profiles. You could also argue that this is worthless as if your profile was sufficiently interesting, they would have reached out to you anyway!
My advice would be to spend a little time ensuring your profile is as solid as possible with the right level of information according to your experience and spend the $50 on something nice
