LinkedIn bills itself as the largest professional network in the world. It has nearly 740 million members in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. More than anything, it's an online platform that connects professionals. Job seekers can use the site to create personal profiles that are similar to, but not identical to, resumes. Personal information, occupation and skill set, current and previous work experience, education, and even endorsements from previous employers and coworkers can all be included. This will provide you with ongoing exposure on the world's largest business network.
Employers can do the same for their businesses. They can create a profile page that highlights the company, what they do, and the types of talent they want to attract. They can also post regular updates on company developments, as well as the rollout of new products and services, to keep their profile current and compelling.
Employers can post jobs on the site in addition to maintaining a company presence. Similar to Indeed, you can post a job on LinkedIn for free, but you can also use their premium services for more aggressive candidate searches. This feature is intended for larger employers who have a large number of positions to fill on a regular basis. It gives you the ability to post an unlimited number of jobs. However, it goes beyond basic job boards by utilizing over 20 advanced search filters. Once you've identified the people you want to connect with, you can do so through LinkedIn's messaging system, InMail. This is a premium service, and you must contact the sales department to find out how much it will cost your company.
