What % of LinkedIn's revenue from their Talent Solutions products, are from companies using the service to hire software engineers?
Hello! Thanks for your question about the percentage of LinkedIn's revenue from Talent Solutions products, from companies using the service to hire software engineers. The short version is that after searching extensively through media sites, LinkedIn’s recruitment trends, annual reports, corporate reports and case studies, I’ve determined that the information you requested is not publicly available since LinkedIn never published the detailed breakdown of its revenue on the web through any source. However, I was able to learn some top priority and popular job roles among talent acquisition community on LinkedIn.
METHODOLOGY
I searched exhaustively through industry reports, corporate websites, academic databases, and trusted media sites and determined that data about the percentage of LinkedIn's revenue for hiring software engineers using Talent Solutions products are not available. Next, I looked through reports published by LinkedIn specific to their revenue breakdown but the required information was not there. Then I searched for popular job roles recruited on LinkedIn to triangulate my answer but the desired results were not found that could prove useful for triangulation. After a thorough search, I determined that the information you are looking for is not publicly available on the web.
HELPFUL FINDINGS
Talent Solution is the most valuable division for LinkedIn and its valuation in LinkedIn’s revenue which was about 60% in 2015. This division was the largest driver of revenue for the LinkedIn, generated $623 million (of total revenue — $960 million). It only breaks down revenue by the product such as Hiring and Learning & Development for Talent Solutions division but no information available on the further breakdown of revenue.
This article lists 50+ statistics about linked growth, revenue, business units, user demographics etc., such as it has 467 million users, 3 billion professionals, LinkedIn generates $371,474 per employee, 41% of millionaires use LinkedIn, and 65% of revenue comes from talent solutions but no there is no information about revenue breakdown representing percentage of revenue to hire software engineers using Talent Solutions products.
LinkedIn claims to have half billion users now. There is no information about the type of users hunting software engineers or revenue breakdown for talent solution representing required data.
However, the top 5 connected industries and the top 5 connected job functions that are Human Resources, Product Management, Business Development, Marketing, and Consulting, are listed in this report. Sales and Operations jobs are one of the top and popular job roles at LinkedIn which indicates that sales jobs may hold the highest percentage of Talent Solution revenue. Information technology jobs come at number 4 according to this report by LinkedIn (slide 12).
POSSIBLE CONTINUED RESEARCH
Since the data, you are looking for, is not publicly available. I would suggest you take help directly from LinkedIn Administration/Customer Service. It might cost you some additional pennies to get the data, though, I hope, they will better serve you and will be helpful to provide concrete numbers or suggest any other search strategy.
CONCLUSION
To wrap it up, after searching extensively using various keywords and search mechanisms, I was not able to find data about the percentage of revenue to hire software engineers using Talent Solutions. I searched using all possible mechanisms but the required info cannot be found, though LinkedIn never published the detailed breakdown of its revenue on the web. However, I was able to learn that sales jobs are one of the popular job roles at LinkedIn which leads to assume that sales jobs may hold the highest percentage of Talent Solution revenue.
