Which elements of LinkedIn’s employer branding struck you the most as a candidate?

One piece of insight I learnt right after I joined LinkedIn is that having a profile photo boosts your chances of being viewed or discovered on LinkedIn by 11 times! There are lots of resources online to help you develop an awesome profile and I would encourage all job seekers to leverage these.
For me, the main element was the focus on transformation of self, LinkedIn and the world! I also personally connected with the messages of innovation and creative thinking in the branding – I really felt that I would be encouraged to dream big and innovate in my role and beyond. After eight weeks here, I can already attest to that as true!
Humour is also a differentiating element. In a hyper-growth company, having fun qatar phone number resource while working hard to get things done makes so much sense.
Do you have advice for HR and talent acquisition professionals wanting to land a job at LinkedIn?
Engage with us! Everyone at LinkedIn is so passionate about what they do, which is something that struck me from my first engagement with the company. We all love talking to talent, not necessarily limited to those in HR or Talent Acquisition, who want to transform the world.
We don’t just recruit LinkedIn product evangelists here, but it helps to show you have a working knowledge of our platform and tools, as this will definitely help you appreciate what we do and what we stand for. For example, you can share news and insights with your LinkedIn network, publish long-form content that showcases your expertise, join and participate in relevant discussion groups, etc.
