LinkedIn allows members (both workers and employers) to create profiles and connect with each other in an online social network which may represent real-world professional relationships. As of March 2023, LinkedIn has more than 900 million registered members from over 200 countries and territories. Since December 2016, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft. From 2015 most of the company's revenue came from selling access to information about its members to recruiters and sales professionals.

The platform is primarily used for professional networking and career development, and allows jobseekers to post their CVs and employers to post jobs. LinkedIn ( / l ɪ ŋ k t ˈ ɪ n/) is a business and employment-focused social media platform that works through websites and mobile apps.
