LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking platform, created to


connect individuals in the workforce for career development, job opportunities,
industry networking, and knowledge sharing. It was launched in May 2003 and was
later acquired by Microsoft in 2016.

The platform functions like a digital resume, professional portfolio, and career-
oriented social network. Users create profiles that highlight their education,
skills, work experience, achievements, endorsements, and career goals. These
profiles can be viewed by other users, including potential employers and
recruiters.

peers. These connections allow people to stay updated on each other’s career moves
and professional insights.

Job Searching: LinkedIn offers a robust job search engine where users can find and
apply to millions of jobs globally. It also uses algorithms to suggest jobs based
on your profile and interests.

Recruitment: For employers and recruiters, LinkedIn serves as a powerful hiring


tool. LinkedIn Recruiter helps companies search for talent using advanced filters
like location, skills, education, and past roles.

LinkedIn Learning: A feature that offers thousands of video courses and tutorials
to help users build or improve professional skills in areas such as business,
technology, and creativity.

Content Sharing: Users can share articles, write posts, publish blogs, and engage
with others’ content. This allows professionals to build personal brands, stay
informed on industry trends, and spark conversations.

Groups and Communities: Users can join interest-based groups where professionals in
the same field or with similar interests can discuss relevant topics and share
opportunities.

Business Pages: Companies create LinkedIn Pages to promote their brand, post job
openings, and share company news. These pages help with employer branding and
visibility.

Premium Services: LinkedIn offers various premium subscription plans, such as


LinkedIn Premium Career (for job seekers), Premium Business, and LinkedIn Sales
Navigator (for sales professionals). These offer extra features like InMail
messaging, advanced insights, and access to more profiles.

User Base and Reach:


LinkedIn has over 1 billion users across 200+ countries, with a strong presence
among working professionals, recent graduates, and business decision-makers.

It's especially popular in industries like tech, finance, healthcare, education,


and marketing.

share knowledge. It has become a vital tool in the modern workplace, blending
