We’re en route to introducing LinkedIn in more languages as part of our global development efforts and I’m very happy to announce that LinkedIn en Français is now a fait accompli. Whether you use it to rendezvous online or have a tête-à-tête, LinkedIn acts as a liaison between 31M professionals worldwide and we’re adding a new user every second.
I am writing today to announce the full release of LinkedIn’s new search platform to over 31 million LinkedIn users.
The new search platform at LinkedIn is redefining the way professionals go about finding talent, business partners, customers or a former colleague.
Just a few months ago Michael Friedenberg, CEO of CXO Media asked what three qualities best describes a CIO. And, just a few weeks ago former CEO of Disney, Michael Eisner, asked the perfect follow-up question:
which CEO and/or company most successfully, consistently and thoroughly embodies innovation to maximize business results?
If advertising execs have been watching AMC’s “Mad Men” with a knowing eye, it’s likely because they say the show nails the period, the culture, and the industry. Advertising is a tough business that requires a deft hand at finding and managing prospects, which in turn requires maintaining great relationships. Renegade President & CEO Drew Neisser knows a thing or two about advertising, having been in the industry for, he says, “decades, so to speak.”
“LinkedIn is part of the fabric of Renegade and how we do business,” Drew tells us. His executive assistant vets appointments; HR seeks out the best talent; biz dev finds and qualifies leads, all on LinkedIn. Drew even proposes LinkedIn to clients as a resource for reaching targeted niches. But most importantly, LinkedIn helps Drew stay connected with decades of clients while developing new ones.
Since the launch of the Spanish language version of LinkedIn, we’ve had one consistent request from our multilingual users – how can I create a Spanish profile as well?
After all, if you’re a professional in today’s global world, your network may extend well beyond the borders of your home country. And if a Spanish-speaking contact comes to view your profile via the Spanish version of LinkedIn, shouldn’t they be viewing your profile in Spanish as well?
