In a bid to help fight against
the new coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), Microsoft-owned professional
networking platform LinkedIn on Thursday said that it is offering free
job postings, promoting urgent jobs and hiring resources to companies
from industries in critical need.
LinkedIn is offering companies
and organisations in healthcare (including medical device, medical
practice and mental health care), supermarket, warehousing and freight
delivery, as well as disaster relief non-profit organisations the
ability to post jobs for free on the platform -- from April 1 to June to
30 � and hire people needed to fill these mission-critical roles.
"We
are hearing heroic stories of how those on the frontlines are working
around the clock to protect the public. It's clear, however, that more
help is needed to fill the most urgent open roles," Ruchee Anand,
Director of Talent and Learning Solutions, India at LinkedIn said in a
statement.
"That is why we are bolstering our efforts to help
accelerate the hiring of people with relevant skills that are most
needed in India right now," Anand added.
According to the
professional networking platform, the company is helping job seekers
with the right skills to quickly find open roles by promoting them on
our Jobs page.
For instance, frontline healthcare roles, such as
doctors and nurses, will be automatically added to a list of �urgent'
jobs, which will be surfaced to LinkedIn members with relevant skills.
LinkedIn
members that have relevant skills that fit these open roles will
receive automatic real-time alerts and emails that inform them so that
they can apply immediately.
The company has also heard from its healthcare staffing customers that they need help hiring for critical healthcare roles.
To
help support their surge hiring needs, LinkedIn is offering access to
'LinkedIn Talent Insight's for three months to give our customers
real-time data and insights to identify critical healthcare
professionals efficiently.
They have expanded its 'Recruiting For
Good' programme to deploy its own team of recruiters to help source and
screen talent for organisations on the front lines so that these
organisations can fill urgent paid and volunteer positions.
