Overview & Methodology
A world of insights can be gathered from
LinkedIn’s 259 million members - the
world’s largest professional network.
Talent pools are defined by member
skillset, based on the skills and keywords
on a member profile. Skillsets group
similar and related skills that are critical
to a certain profession or industry.
Within each skillset LinkedIn Recruiter
activity and member characteristics are
used to determine supply and demand
for talent. A higher demand index
means that the average professional in a
region is interacting with recruiters more
frequently than peers in other regions.
Data about job consideration comes
from our semiannual talent drivers
survey of over 100,000 members.
