Editor's Notes
- #3 Talent is THE driving force for success and economic opportunity; that holds true for both individual professionals and the companies they work for. At our core, LinkedIn is in the business of connecting talent with opportunity at massive scale. We are able to do this in an unprecedented way due to the convergence of two unique trends:Scalable infrastructure that connects hundreds of millions of people in milliseconds, andExtraordinary shifts in online behavior related to the way people represent their identities, build their networks and share information and knowledge. This is fundamentally changing the world in the way we live, play, and, of course, work. And that’s where LinkedIn is focused: On fundamentally transforming the way the world works.
- #4 For us, fundamentally changing the way the world works begins with our mission statement: To connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. This means not only helping people to find their dream jobs, but also enabling them to be great at the jobs they’re already in.
- #5 We’re making great strides toward our mission:LinkedIn has over 225 million members, and we’re now adding more than two members per second. This is the fastest rate of absolute member growth in the company’s history. Sixty-four percent of LinkedIn members are currently located outside of the United States.LinkedIn counts executives from all 2012 Fortune 500 companies as members; its corporate talent solutions are used by 88 of the Fortune 100 companies.More than 2.9 million companies have LinkedIn Company Pages.LinkedIn members did over 5.7 billion professionally-oriented searches on the platform in 2012.[See http://press.linkedin.com/about for a complete list of LinkedIn facts and stats]
- #6 But, we’re just getting started. By our measure,there are more than 640 million professionals in the world. And roughly 3.3 billion people in the global workforce. Ultimately, our vision is to create economic opportunity for every professional, which we believe is an especially crucial objective in light of current macroeconomic trends.
