LinkedIn to develop ‘Marketplaces’ for connecting freelancers & recruiters

Marketplaces is designed to bridge the gap between the LinkedIn members who are looking for freelance projects and members looking to book freelance vendors. The development of LinkedIn Marketplaces has been ongoing since at least October 2019, when it acquired some assets of Up Counsel, an online marketplace for legal services.The platform has been offering ways to connect employers and recruiters with members looking for freelance projects or full-time employment. LinkedIn Jobs has streamlined the process for finding opportunities relevant to the user’s area of expertise. LinkedIn Pro Finder, the professional services marketplace has helped members find freelance or independent professionals in their area, within specific service categories. Marketplaces, slated to be launched in the concluding months of this year, and may also replace Pro Finder, if LinkedIn wants to avoid internal competition.
