LinkedIn to launch Talent Insights, a new analytics tool, as it dives deeper into data
By | Ingrid Lunden | techcrunch.com
LinkedIn, the Microsoft-owned social network for the working world with some 500 million members, has made a large business out of recruitment — with some 11 million job listings on the site at any given time, and the recruitment market providing the company with its largest source of revenue.
Now it is taking another step ahead in building out that business with a new product: LinkedIn Talent Insights, a self-service, big data analytics product that will let recruiters make deeper queries into statistics for hiring and employment, based on LinkedIn data.
Talent Insights is being announced in a closed beta today at the company’s Talent Connect event, with a full launch in 2018. It will be a paid product, Eric Owski, LinkedIn’s head of product for talent insights, tells me, although pricing will not be made public until it’s generally available next year.
Talent Insights will come, initially, with two views, called “Talent Pool” and “Company report.”
