The third and most important part of your visibility on LinkedIn depends upon how many groups you are in. It's not so much as to how many groups you are in but also the size of the groups. You can join 10 groups on LinkedIn that have 1000 members (network visibility 10,000 people) or you can join the 10 largest HR groups on LinkedIn and increase your network visibility to over 6,500,000 million people. Which network would YOU rather be in?

You are ONLY visible to people in your network including group members.

If you weren't in those groups a lot of HR people could not view your profile. In essence, you do not exist to them. There would also be recruiter profiles, hiring managers, and headhunters profiles that you couldn't find because they are NOT in your network! AND more importantly, they CAN NOT see your LinkedIn profile.

There are other benefits to joining groups and one of them is Messaging. Because you are in the same group as the VP of HR for a Fortune 500 company you can message them. If you are not in the group you would have to find their contact information.

I have 6500 1st degree connections and 1,300,000 2nd degree connections, but with being in 98 groups my total network visibility is 22,000,000+ members. There are around 800,000,000 profiles on LinkedIn which mean ONLY 3% of the profiles on LinkedIn can view my profile. The ONLY exception is the recruiters that use LinkedIn's "Recruiter Tool".

So how do you know if they aren't in your network you will see "LinkedIn Member" as the profile name. This pop up will show when searching on LinkedIn that "You don’t have access to this profile"

The profiles of members who are outside your network have limited visibility. To access more member profiles, continue to grow your network.
