LinkedIn offers free coronavirus-related job postings

Professional network site, LinkedIn, now offers free job postings in select industries to accelerate hiring of vacant positions essential for fighting COVID-19. Included in the program are healthcare, disaster mitigation, warehouse, retail, and logistics sectors. This will run until June 30, 2020.

LinkedIn also aids companies in finding highly-skilled and experienced candidates by promoting job announcements on the site’s homepage and Jobs page, scale the screening and recruiting talents with the Recruiting for Good program, and keep LinkedIn account users and companies connected, informed, and productive with a resource hub. To help support the demand for healthcare staffing, LinkedIn is offering access to LinkedIn Talent Insights for the next three months.

Apart from encouraging its users to upgrade their skills through LinkedIn Learning for premium members and develop soft skills, LinkedIn has unlocked free learning resources to help workers navigate the effects of COVID-19.
