LinkedIn Revamped Its Jobs Experience for Both Seekers and Recruiters

Salary insights are available to all members, and screening questions will speed the HR process

LinkedIn unveiled a host of new features this week for both ends of the employment spectrum: job seekers and recruiters.

LinkedIn Talent Solutions vice president of product management John Jersin noted in a blog post that the professional network now has more than 630 million members, and engagement is up 24% year-over-year.

Jersin added that job postings on LinkedIn have skyrocketed from 300,000 five years ago to over 20 million, with members applying for 25 million jobs each week and new hires made every eight seconds via LinkedIn.

On the job-seeker side, LinkedIn said the instant job alerts it initially introduced in February—when it detailed the rebuild of core hiring tools LinkedIn Recruiter, Linkedin Jobs and Pipeline Builder into a single platform—enable members to receive push notifications minutes after jobs that meet their criteria or experience are posted.
