New York Fed economists Elizabeth B. Li, Giorgio Topa and Jacob P. Weber compare three new LinkedIn measures of how hard it is for employers to find workers against government job-openings data, and test how well they track wage growth.
LinkedIn engineers describe migrating a high-volume event-ingestion pipeline, including gRPC adoption, asynchronous Kafka delivery, validation and production hardening.
A LinkedIn engineering leader describes how the platform detects and down-ranks generic, repetitive AI-generated posts in the feed, and what that means for members who post.

Newsletter on LinkedIn profile optimization and job search tactics from recruiter Kristof Schoenaerts. Free to read.

Career site by Austin Belcak teaching job-search strategies built around networking and direct outreach rather than online applications. Free articles, templates, and tools; paid courses and coaching also offered.
LinkedIn help page on getting LinkedIn Learning through your public library card.
Why I recommend it: LinkedIn Learning is normally paid; this route is free only if your library offers it.
LinkedIn's announcement that members can verify the experience of people they worked or studied with, and companies get more control over who claims to work there.
Why I recommend it: Worth doing if you are job hunting: verified experience helps against fake profiles. This is LinkedIn's own announcement.
A one-person investigation unit that documents fake job listings, cloned company pages and hijacked LinkedIn profiles, then gets them taken down. The case files show exactly how each scam was built: duplicate listings posted under a real employer's name and logo across several states, applicants routed off LinkedIn to a lookalike careers site, and a resume drop at a domain with no connection to the company. The site claims 58,559 fake jobs and 7,000+ fake profiles removed from LinkedIn.
Why I recommend it: Read two or three cases before your next application round. Once you have seen the pattern — an unfamiliar careers domain, a logo lifted from the real employer, the same listing in a dozen states — you will spot it in seconds. Two honest limits: the takedown counts are the author's own figures with no independent audit, and the author is anonymous, so treat the method as the useful part rather than the totals.
The actual 2004 pitch deck Reid Hoffman used to raise LinkedIn's Series B, with his annotations explaining each slide.
From the site: At Greylock, my partners and I are driven by one guiding mission: always help entrepreneurs. It doesn’t matter whether an entrepreneur is in our portfolio, whether we’re considering an investment, or whether we’re casually meeting for the first time.
Why I recommend it: One of the few real pitch decks published with the reasoning attached. Read the annotations more than the slides — they show what a room of investors was actually asking.
A free guide to using AND, OR, NOT and quotation marks on job boards to cut thousands of irrelevant listings down to the roles that actually match you, with copyable example strings.
Why I recommend it: Copy two or three of these strings into your saved searches today. It is the cheapest hour of job-search improvement available.
LinkedIn's own free guide to its AI job search, including how to describe the role you want in plain language instead of guessing keywords.
Why I recommend it: Two minutes here changes what LinkedIn shows you all week.
A LinkedIn article on structuring long-form LinkedIn posts so they get read by people and surfaced by AI search tools — headlines, formatting, and keyword choices.
Why I recommend it: Worth ten minutes if you post on LinkedIn at all. Being findable by AI search is quickly becoming part of being findable, period.
A practical walkthrough from career ghostwriter area|Talent on searching LinkedIn effectively — Boolean and filter tactics, how semantic search and AI recruiting agents read your profile, and what to fix so recruiters can find you.
Why I recommend it: Do the profile fixes before you do the searching. Being findable pays off longer than any single search you run today.
Ongoing resume, LinkedIn and executive job-search advice from professional resume writer Virginia Franco.
Why I recommend it: Straightforward resume guidance, especially for mid-career and executive roles.
Free step-by-step LinkedIn optimization workbook covering headline, about section, experience, and visibility.
Why I recommend it: Work through one section a day instead of trying to rewrite your whole profile in an afternoon.
A review of the signals your LinkedIn profile and content send to buyers and recruiters, with feedback on what to change.
Why I recommend it: Outside eyes on your profile catch what you have stopped seeing. Worth one round of feedback even if you never work with the author.
A short playbook on landing clients from LinkedIn in 30 minutes a day: post five times a week, link every post to a free "Trust Bridge" resource so warm leads identify themselves, then spend the half hour only on profile views, likes and comments from the day before.
Why I recommend it: This is the clearest short explanation I have seen of why chasing cold outreach wastes your time. The "Trust Bridge" idea works for job seekers too: give people a reason to raise their hand instead of hunting them down.

Zoë Hartsfield on the underused parts of a LinkedIn profile and how to rewrite them so they work for you instead of sitting empty.
Why I recommend it: Most people fill in the headline and stop. Fifteen minutes on the sections she names does more for your inbound than another round of applications.
A downloadable guide to using Claude for LinkedIn content: audience research prompts, voice calibration, and reusable prompt frameworks for turning an hour into a week of posts.
Why I recommend it: The prompt frameworks in here are the useful part - especially the audience pain-point mining prompt. It is a lead magnet for a paid program, so take the system and ignore the sales pitch.
Created by The Creator Accelerator
A newsletter analyzing what actually performs on LinkedIn and social platforms, based on running experiments and reporting the data rather than repeating best-practice folklore.
Why I recommend it: Most LinkedIn advice is guesswork dressed up as expertise. This one tests things and shows the numbers, which is why I read it.
Catherine Fisher's practical guide to starting a networking habit when the task keeps sliding down your list.
Why I recommend it: Networking fails when it is a vague goal. Pick two people a week and send one honest message each — that is the whole practice.
Walkthrough of the signals that a LinkedIn posting is not a real, currently open role.
Why I recommend it: Applying to phantom postings is the fastest way to burn out. Learning the tells saves you hours every week.
