Since its founding in 2002, the professional network LinkedIn has collected various data such as skills, education, employment history of up to 467 million of their users. With these data, they can connect job seekers with the appropriate company.
In order to strengthen their ability to "pair" the owners of companies with job seekers, on 2 November 2016 yesterday LinkedIn announced a new feature called LinkedIn Salary. With these features, the company which was recently acquired by Microsoft is expecting their users to share information that is critical in the world of work, ie salary, bonus, up to the percentage of shares acquired.
The information can then be processed by LinkedIn and is presented in the form of insight based on the position, to the type and location of the job. By doing so, the LinkedIn users can now have the additional consideration before they decide to apply or accept a job offer.
To find the information, you just need to share salary data you receive. LinkedIn ensure that the information will be encrypted, so that employees LinkedIn will not know the specific information.
For those of you who do not want to share salary information, you can still see the insight generated by LinkedIn by registering as a user Premium.
"Moving forward, we hope this data can be used to give advice regarding career options better experience for our users. For example, we can recommend some skill that you have to have in a particular industry so that you can get a higher salary, "said Ryan Sandler, Product Manager of LinkedIn in the announcement on their official blog.
Salary LinkedIn feature currently is only available to their users in the United States, Britain, and Canada. But LinkedIn stated that they will bring these services around the world in 2017.
Salary LinkedIn feature is already presented by other services, such as Glassdoor and Qerja. With a very large user base and support of Microsoft behind it, is not impossible that LinkedIn will be the defeat of his predecessors.
