Overview

Link “In” to Companies
Company Profiles are a powerful research tool that helps you find and explore potential companies to work for or do business with. Profiles feature a company overview, who you know at the company, and unique data from the LinkedIn network.

Accessing Profiles

There are two easy ways to access Company Profiles:

Clicking on the “Companies” option on your top navigation bar takes you to the Company Search page. Here, in addition to being able to search for companies you want to research, you can find out which companies are the most viewed, fastest growing, and most connected.

When viewing a LinkedIn member profile, the Icon icon next to a company name indicates that we have data for that company; clicking on that name will take you to their Company Profile page.

Components of a Company Profile

Company profiles begin with a brief overview and are followed by two primary components: information about relevant people at the company on the left, and aggregated statistics about employees on the right.

Related Companies

Ever wondered where a company’s employees worked before they joined or where they went after they left? Or which other companies they are most connected to? Related Companies finds trends in the work history of users and identifying connections between companies.

Key Statistics

Ever wondered what the top locations or most common schools that a company hires from are? Key Statistics is produced from the aggregated non-personally identifiable data of LinkedIn users who are currently employed by this company. This data only reflects estimates about the company’s employees and is not endorsed or provided by the company.

How Information is Gathered

The information you see in the company pages comes from two sources— Capital IQ and LinkedIn user data. Our partner, Capital IQ, provided the basic company data such as company overview, revenue, etc. All of the relevant people and aggregated company statistics are based on LinkedIn network data.

FAQ

How can I add my company or customize its profile?

Coming soon, companies will be able to edit certain information on their company’s profile, such as description, headquarters address, website and revenue. In the future, companies will also be to:

  • post targeted jobs, recruitment videos, and other promotional material for recruitment
  • post information about products and services
  • upload company images
  • and more

How can I create a profile for my company?

In the near future, we will be providing functionality for users to add their company to the directory. Details coming soon.

How do I remove myself from a module on Company Profiles?

If you don’t want to appear in the New Hires, Recent Promotions or Popular Profiles sections of your company’s profile, go to your Profile and Status Updates preferences and select “No, do not notify anyone.” Since settings on profiles is updated daily, there may be a delay before you are removed from the page (this delay will be eliminated in a future release).
