When Microsoft acquired LinkedIn I suspected they will go for the top talent with this. Think about it:
Based on users' data and behavior, one can anticipate whether or not he/she is going to quit/leave his/her current job. Microsoft recruiters can then swoop in and offer him/her a job.
Or for example, Microsoft can essentially map all the top IT talents network and use this to its advantage.
The list goes on...
- taurath 9y agoI had forgot the MS acquired it! Honestly it’s probably less bad than it was. Maybe in a few years we’ll hear about all the scrubbing they had to do to keep MS safe.
- phy6 9y agoWe joke at the office about going to update our linkedin after terrible meetings. In fact the act of interacting with that site at all, either from updates or clicking emails, is probably a sign I'm looking for greener pastures.
- l9k 9y agoI'm not sure it would be really helpful. Not all jobs (on LinkedIn) are IT jobs, far from that. The real advantage would be to map everyone and every company to get intelligence on the users and potential users of their products (Office 365)
