Really, I don't believe that "Open to Work" label makes too much of a sizable difference in our field for the better or worse, it is probably a non-issue. Recruiters never really cared if you are looking for work or not. I doubt recruiters filter their searches by this label. No recruiter ever: "Oh, this guy is not Open to Work, better not to contact him, let's move to the next" Actually, we could have a "Please do not contact, not open to work" label, and I am pretty sure you'd still be contacted several times a week by recruiters with barely, if any, reduction in the number of messages.
