It seems people are under the impression that LinkedIn is predominantly for professionals and job seekers but there’s a lot more under the surface.
We’ve come up with our top reasons to why your business should be on LinkedIn so you can make the most out of the platform.

This means you’re more likely to attract the right people to your business and therefore generate more leads. These leads can also be fed into your recruitment CRM and linked to relevant jobs or candidates.
