LinkedIn Companies: LinkedIn is a fantastic source for learning about companies you're interested in and using this information to find and explore potential companies to work for or do business with. Company Profiles are a powerful research tool that has a company overview, who you know at the company, and unique data from the LinkedIn network.
Click on the “Companies” option on your top navigation bar to take 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.
Search results will show how many jobs a company has vacant. You can drill down searching by industry, location (near postcode). You can also limit the search to those companies that have 1st and 2nd degree contacts; this is very powerful as you can immediately see those companies that have jobs in which you have contacts which will exponentially increase your chances of employment.
Once on the company page, you can check out the “company employee insights” to see the different job functions, years experience, educational degree & university attended. If for example you notice that a particular company has a proportionally high percent of employees from a particular college or university, this can be helpful in choosing which company to apply to.
