Engage Consistently on LinkedIn
As an employed candidate posting directly about your search may not be appropriate depending on your industry and how discreet you need to be. But consistent engagement on LinkedIn keeps you visible and active in a way that attracts inbound interest from recruiters and connections without broadcasting your search publicly.

Step by Step
Open your LinkedIn feed and look for posts from people at your target companies, in your target role, or in your target industry.
Leave thoughtful comments on 5 posts. Add something genuine to the conversation. A relevant experience, a good question, or a different perspective.
Share or react to 5 additional posts.
If you feel comfortable posting something professional and relevant to your field do so. It does not need to mention your search. Simply being visible and sharing your expertise is enough to attract attention.
Tips Consistent LinkedIn engagement over several weeks compounds significantly. Recruiters often reach out to people they have noticed being thoughtful and active in their field even when those people have not explicitly signaled that they are looking. Keep all engagement professional. Nothing controversial and nothing that would raise eyebrows at your current company if seen.
