The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies #24 - LinkedIn: For turning 90 million members into the world's most useful career database," Fast Company, March 2011 Issue
"We're taking the aggregate data set [of our 90 million members] and turning it into new products that are useful for everyone," says Hoffman. That means users can now search new Company Pages to find connections to a given company (as well as recent hirings and firings), while college students can use a new app called Career Explorer to follow the employment footsteps of real people. "Where do people normally go when they graduate with my major? Which universities does this company hire from? There's a massive lack of information," says Hoffman. "When everyone can see the patterns, it's useful to everyone." ~Fast Company
