LinkedIn, privately owned and headquartered in the US, with Microsoft as its parent company, was founded in 2003 and employs an estimated 25,660 individuals. The company reported $20.8B in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in search, social, and retail media, functioning as an American business and employment-oriented online service that operates via websites and mobile apps. The platform is used for professional networking and career development, allowing job seekers to post CVs and employers to post jobs.
On March 15, 2026, LinkedIn began implementing a new AI-powered system to determine which posts appear in user feeds, a significant change aimed at enhancing the platform's main feed. This move follows the professional networking platform's earlier announcement on March 13, 2026, detailing several updates that include an AI-based feed ranking system, stricter enforcement against automated comments, and reduced visibility for posts deemed low-quality or created solely to boost engagement.
