Report inappropriate content for demonstrated skills

Last updated: 2 months ago

Important to know

The ability to demonstrate skills for roles in HR, sales, marketing, and project management are no longer available. We encourage members to focus on representing their skills on profile in order to stand out to hirers in a way they trust. Learn more about ways to showcase skills here.

If you’re concerned about inappropriate or unsafe content on LinkedIn through demonstrated skills, you can report the content using the steps below. 

Note: Please only report items that are inappropriate as defined in our Community Guidelines and User Agreement. A difference of opinion isn't an appropriate reason to flag something. 

  1. Complete the Contact LinkedIn Support Webform to report violating content from an applicant. 
  2. Select Privacy/Abuse as the Issue Type. 
  3. Describe the inappropriate content in the demonstrated skills in the Your Question section of the webform. Provide as much detail as possible. For example, if the inappropriate content was a video response that an applicant submitted, make sure to write “video response submitted by applicant in demonstrated skills.” 
  4. Add screenshots as attachments to support your report, if possible. 

We’ll investigate the issue that you have reported and act based on our results. It's against our Privacy Policy to share the identity of someone who flags an item. We have limited ability to act on content appearing beyond our site, unless it's in direct violation of our brand. 

Important to know

Currently, we don't offer a phone number for customer support. Some websites will advertise LinkedIn phone support for a fee. These websites aren't affiliated with LinkedIn in any way and we're proactively working on taking action on them. Keep in mind that we don't charge for customer support, and we'll never ask you for your password or access to your computer.
