A first version of your profile with only your job titles. The “current position”: This is where the problem comes from. When you fill out your profile, you have a box to check (or not): “I currently hold this position”. Given how the LinkedIn algorithm works, it is ESSENTIAL that you have experience with this box checked. Without it, your visibility risks collapsing. However, it would be quite logical, being out of position, not to have a position with this box checked. It's a form of logic. It's a point of view. It's not that of the algorithm. You must have experience with this box checked. I repeat myself but it is essential. We come back to the subject of this article: what do we do when off duty, to have a “current position” while in “real life” we don’t have one.
How long can you keep your last position as your current position? According to Email Data the hunters I met: 6 months is good. They would appreciate it if 6 months after departure, the profile is updated. Hervé Ludin, who recently asked me to speak to the managers accompanied by EOS Dirigeant, confirmed this figure. I gave this 6 month answer for a long time when I was asked the question. But I also met dozens, if not hundreds, of leaders and today I have a different perspective on the subject. Talking about it with them, it’s the big gap. I came across someone who, having left his position on the 15th of the month, was unable to display his “current position” from the 16th. “That wouldn't be honest” he told me.
I met others who still hadn't posted their profile 12 or even 15 months after their departure. And who had no problem explaining it. So how long? There may be a legal or image issue with the former employer. The Durand company may take a dim view that Mr. Dupont still occupies the position of DAF on his profile when this is no longer the case. Some executives have received letters from lawyers to update their profiles. In some cases, we have no choice. If you want to do something else, keeping a current position that is not aligned with the project is counterproductive. In conclusion I would say that it has to be seen on a case by case basis. As long as you can respond with calm, serenity and credibility to a recruiter who asks you the question “why your profile is not up to date (and if this does not harm your project)”, you can keep your last position as a position. current.
