The number of LinkedIn’s members also increased, to more than 259m, a rise of 38pc year-over-year. The company said members engaged with the site at record levels across desktop and mobile devices, driven by LinkedIn’s investment in core products that improved how members manage their identities and networks, and how they consume and publish content.
