LinkedIn hits five million members in Australia
Professional network LinkedIn has announced that its membership base in Australia has surpassed the five million mark.
Five years ago this month LinkedIn had just over a half a million members, by March this year it had already reached four million.
The milestone coincides with what has been a year of record growth for LinkedIn here, which has seen it expand its local presence with over 150 staff across three offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
Globally, the professional network attracts more than two new members every second and has grown to 259 million members this year.
“This is yet another important milestone, illustrating that Australians really understand the potential economic opportunities that they can create by leveraging online professional networks. We are also seeing a strong uptake from our Australian members leveraging LinkedIn as a professional content platform to discover and share insights, locally in Australia and globally as well," said Clifford Rosenberg, managing director for LinkedIn ANZ.
