Do you trust social networks to keep who views your profile private?
LinkedIn is testing a Frequent Viewer label that alerts users when the same person repeatedly visits their profile. The test is restricted to select LinkedIn Premium subscribers, and LinkedIn has confirmed it while declining to share further operational details.
Why it matters
The feature extends LinkedIn's existing 'Who viewed your profile' section into repeat-visit tracking, which could help job seekers notice when recruiters keep checking their profiles. It also signals how the platform is building on its profile-view notifications to add more engagement tools for paying members.
The test is restricted to select LinkedIn Premium subscribers and is built on the platform's existing profile-view notification system. LinkedIn has declined to disclose the test's scope, duration or rollout plans.
The players
LinkedIn is a Microsoft-owned professional networking platform widely used for recruiting, job searching and business networking.
The details
LinkedIn user Krista Mollion spotted the feature a few weeks ago, and the company has since confirmed the test. The Frequent Viewer label builds on the existing 'Who viewed your profile' section, and users can still restrict profile visibility through privacy controls or browse profiles in private mode.

Career Tools
The test extends LinkedIn's 'Who viewed your profile' feature, which has been a Premium draw for years, into repeat-visit alerts that show sustained interest rather than one-off views. It marks a step toward more granular engagement signals for paying members in the professional networking market.
Job seekers on LinkedIn Premium may eventually see when recruiters or contacts repeatedly check their profiles, which could help time follow-ups. Users who want to limit visibility can still adjust their privacy settings or browse in private mode.
The takeaway
Keeping your profile current and your privacy settings reviewed is a practical step while LinkedIn tests new viewer features. Paying attention to who engages with your profile can help you spot recruiter interest earlier in a job search.
