LinkedIn Announces Changes to Endorsements Feature

The Endorsements feature allows users to acknowledge their connections' skills by endorsing those skills on their profiles.

LinkedIn announced two changes to its Endorsements feature. The Endorsements feature allows users to acknowledge their connections’ skills by endorsing those skills on their profiles. LinkedIn said users with at lease five skills listed on their profiles receive up to 17 times more profile views.

With this update, LinkedIn said it will show featured endorsements on a user’s profile, based on the viewer’s own connections and other factors. Specifically, when someone visits a user’s profile, they can see featured endorsements made by mutual connections, colleagues and “people who are knowledgeable about the skill.”
