# of LinkedIn Members

Overview & Methodology
A world of insights can be gathered from
LinkedIn’s 238 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.

How can you connect with branding professionals?
1.	 Leverage your Employees’ Networks
The #1 activity on LinkedIn is viewing other members profiles. You can connect with priority talent whenever they visit an
employee’s profile page using Work With Us ads.

2.	 Engage in Conversation through Status Updates
Updates to your followers can be targeted (i.e. by function, by geography) to send relevant, timely updates to your priority
talent pools. You can reach beyond your follower base using Sponsored Updates.

3.	 Tell a Relevant Talent Brand Story
Share why your company is unique and use LinkedIn’s talent driver data to better understand what this talent pool cares
most about. Premium career pages allow for segment-specific targeting to ensure priority talent sees the content most
relevant to them.

4.	 Measure and Track your Progress
Talk to your LinkedIn rep to measure the strength of your Talent Brand with this talent pool and to learn how you stack up
against your competition.
