About
Company description

Job seekers and employees now have a new valuable resource at their side to stay in the know on the job and in the industry.  LinkedNow helps people find the right job match through company and recruiter reviews by actual employees.

 

LinkedNow provides the job seekers with insider company information from employee reviews and open and honest private message board discussions.  You can directly contact other members and exchange thoughtful insights, ask questions, or simply thank someone for a well-written opinion.  Linkednow also allows you to search, rank, and talk about what makes your company great - and not so great - all anonymously.

 

So how do we do it?!  Linkednow’s ranking algorithm uses a proprietary system called CompanyRank to classify employers.  Each company is rated based on 7 criteria such as Trust in Senior Leadership, Job Security and Career Growth among others that we found vital to gauge a company’s competitiveness as an employer.

 

Linkednow stands out from traditional word of mouth by:

 

    Creating an easy, private and fun way for real professionals to share opinions about the company they worked for.

 

    Fostering a vibrant community of job seekers and professionals who feel connected both on linkednow and in the real business world.

 

    And, by gathering insightful reviews from actual human beings whose walked the walk and talked the talk – that’s what we call ‘Real Reviews’.
