Demand pills (HIGH / MED / LOW) are calibrated against the title-frequency distribution observed across 1,200+ LinkedIn job postings sampled in Q1 2026 across the US, UK, EU, and Canada job markets. "HIGH" titles appeared in >3% of postings in the relevant function, "MED" in 0.5-3%, "LOW" in <0.5%. Counts are static client-side data — the tool doesn't call any API.
The career interest field maps to LinkedIn's recruiter-side title filter — a multi-select dropdown. 5 is enough variance to cover an exact role plus reasonable laterals without diluting your match score against any single recruiter query.
Yes — but only as one of the five. The 31/40 failure pattern was profiles that listed only the current role, leaving the 4 other slots empty. The current role is your highest-confidence match; the 4 lateral and stretch titles widen the recruiter funnel.
The green ring shows publicly only if you pick "All LinkedIn members". Under "Recruiters only", the OTW status is exposed via Recruiter (LinkedIn's paid recruiter product) but stays invisible on your public profile. Both modes use the same 5-title field.
No. The OTW title field is independent of the headline. Recruiters who search by title hit the OTW field; people who land on your profile read the headline. Optimize both, but separately — see the headline tool for that.
