Since its founding in 2003, LinkedIn has become a common approach in recruitment processes.
This is a platform where employers and potential employees can connect. Users create a profile on which they upload their digital CV and other relevant information.
A person who has previously studied at, for example, Lund University may receive suggestions to connect with former classmates after filling out this information.
In Sweden alone, LinkedIn has over 3.5 million users. User information, such as past experiences and especially current employment, is matched with relevant companies and organizations. LinkedIn was acquired by Microsoft in 2016.
