Featuring one of-a-kind data mining technology to help you search 17 million companies in-depth for openings and connect with thousands of recruiters, as well as unpublished jobs available to you.
Did we say unpublished jobs? Yes, we did. Here's how it works. You set up your profile—where you want to work, keywords, and what industries interest you. Then, you add what are called 'job triggers' to your profile. These triggers are special data-mining tools that search millions of pages of news articles and announcements online. The triggers return only those announcements that indicate a company might be expanding or hiring soon, and just might need someone like you to join their team!
Here's where it gets really powerful. You're able to see everyone in those companies that you're LinkedIn with. With one click you can introduce yourself to decision makers and human resources professionals who can tell you more about their needs for someone like you.
