I was still confused, because as of Saturday, 10/2 – I could still see full names of 3rd degree connections. He sent me 3 screenshots confirming exactly what he claimed. So I asked for some screenshots to see exactly what he was encountering. However, I’ve seen LinkedIn roll out changes to only to select groups/individuals first before rolling them out to everyone, and my spidey-sense was telling me this might be one of those instances. My second reaction was to quickly run a couple of test searches with my free account, sorted my results by 3rd degree + everyone else, and I was able to see the full names of everyone in the results. Certainly odd if this massive change from LinkedIn really was taking root.Īm I the only person searching LinkedIn on the weekend? Interestingly, I just ran a search on Twitter EST ) for and only found 1 tweet that could be possibly referencing it. Had I missed a major announcement or blog post? Not one of the few thousand+ recruiters that I follow on Twitter had tweeted about it, at least not that I saw, but it’s safe to assume that if this person’s claims were accurate, news would spread like wildfire. I hadn’t heard or seen anything to support his experience or claims. Furthermore, he claimed that LinkedIn had started charging for the ability to see the full names of 3rd degree connections in search results. I had an associate with a free LinkedIn account contact me late last week complaining about how he could no longer see the full names of his LinkedIn search results for 3rd degree connections – his results only showed the first initial of the last name.
