LinkedIn, with help from BusinessWeek’s CapitalIQ, has added a company directory and research information to its business network. For now, it seems you can only get to this directory through Linkedin. You have to get to the directory through individual user profiles and the Linkedin blog explains more on this process. At the moment, there are 160,000 companies in the database. The Linkedin demo video does a decent job explaining how you would access and benefit from this new feature.
Linkedin has always been a great tool for recruiters and start-ups looking to find new staff. Being able to do more background information on the companies behind the individuals seems to be of obvious value.
