LinkedIn is a prominent social networking platform that primarily caters to professionals and businesses. Established in 2002 in Mountain View, California, by Reid Hoffman and his team, LinkedIn has grown into a global entity with 36 international offices as of 2024. The platform enables job seekers to share their resumes, employers to post job vacancies, and professionals to develop their personal brands. LinkedIn’s user base has surpassed 1 billion registered members, with significant growth in membership witnessed over the years. Microsoft[2] acquired the company in 2016 for $26.2 billion, further boosting its reach and capabilities. Despite facing security[3] challenges and criticism over its handling of misinformation and vie privée[4] issues, LinkedIn remains a key player in the business and employment-focused médias sociaux[1] space.
