I'm very excited about LinkedIn's new release from last night.

 

When you do a search and see someone's employer in their profile, you can now click on some of those companies and see a summary page of competitive intelligence!

Over 160,000 profiles of companies will show this feature and any user can see them. The company profile contains a succinct overview of a company's industry data in combination with LinkedIn data, and it pulls information from Capital IQ.

What do you see here? 

 

  •  A list of all that company's employees to which you are connected
  • A list of RECENT HIRES from that company! (also from your network)
  • A list of people RECENTLY PROMOTED at that company! (also from your network)
  • A list of companies were people CAME FROM before they were hired to this company!
  • A list of companies people GO TO when they leave this company!
  • A list of companies that this company's employees are "most connected" to!
  • What locations do most of the company's employees live in!
  • The company's most common job titles
  • From what universities the company hires the most
  • The average tenure for people at that company (how long they last)
  • And a distribution of AGE and GENDER at that company!

 

And soon you will also be able to add, to your company page, the following: 

 

  • A list of targeted jobs, recruitment videos, and other promotional material for recruitment efforts
  • Information about your company's products and services
  • Company images

WOW!!!!
 

Shally, you amaze me.
