Decision-makers: one in three is a manager or director
LinkedIn publishes an annual analysis of user data. As many as 30% of all profiles belong to business owners, directors, managers and other management staff.About the same proportion live or work in Warsaw, and almost 60% of accounts belong to people aged 25–35. One in four works for a corporation with more than 10,000 employees.For individual users early in careers in IT, finance or healthcare, company-profile information is especially valuable. According to the latest report, 70% of company profiles belong to micro-enterprises.
Recruitment via LinkedIn
In Poland, there were 4.2 million registered LinkedIn accounts in 2021. Interestingly, few individual or company profiles are as active on this network as on other social media. Recruitment generates most of the platform's traffic. For confidentiality, conversations can move at any time to channels unavailable to other users.Its popularity among professionally active people makes it a valuable recruitment venue. A profile headline indicates whether someone wants job offers or, in a freelancer's case, new collaborations.Which LinkedIn industries publish the most vacancies and recruit most often? This is continually monitored. Job advertisements are analysed in detail to study Polish and international labour markets.
LinkedIn data shape KPIs
Data published by companies and personal profiles support statistics and performance measurement. KPI means Key Performance Indicators: the most important indicators for an organisation, allowing it to track progress toward its goals. Analysing indicators and comparing earlier periods helps detect general labour-market trends reasonably accurately.Comparisons of which industries recruit and how quickly show analysts changes in demand for candidates. The numbers clearly reveal new trends in Poland, Europe and worldwide. In this respect, LinkedIn is especially valuable for developing local and global business.

Summary
More benefits of analysing data
Monitoring labour-market supply and demand helps gauge how much room there is to negotiate pay. The fewer candidates for a position, the weaker the competition and the better the chance of favourable employment terms.
Assessing candidate numbers and open recruitment is useful to both individuals and companies. Employers learn how much they must invest to attract the desired specialists. If interest falls short of expectations, they make the offer more attractive with additional benefits.
