If you’re an employee, then it’s almost a necessity for you to have LinkedIn. After all, it’s got around 810 million members internationally. Hence, the site clearly has a huge employee base for people to get in contact with. Additionally, studies show that every minute, six people get a job on the site.
According to these same studies, people send around 77 applications for jobs every second, which works out to be around 6.65 million of them each day. That’s quite a lot of “hot girls” getting left on read by “nerdy guys!” These are important people as well – around ⅘ of people on LinkedIn are higher-ups.
