CASE STUDY – indeed.com and linkedin .com

The most popular job resources of Job seekers are LinkedIn and Indeed.com.  LinkedIn designed as an employment-related social network and Indeed.com is a metasearch engine for job listings. Indeed.com is an American worldwide employment-related search engine for job listings launched in November 2004. Linkedin was launched in 2003 to connect the world’s professionals. In December 2016, Microsoft completed its acquisition of LinkedIn, bringing together the world’s leading professional cloud and the world’s leading professional network.

Indeed.com has also added services like resume storage, salary comparisons, employment-related news and trends, and user forums. Employers posting jobs pay a small fee each time a job seeker views a posting. Most clicks on Indeed.com cost between $0.25 – $1.50. The site also earns revenue through traditional website advertising. The recruiting strategy is a plan of action to successfully identify, attract and hire the best candidates for your open roles. Indeed Resume provides millions of resumes from job seekers across nearly any industry and location. Employers can quickly find candidates by entering a skill, job title, city, state or zip. The results can be narrow down by criteria like years of experience, education level and more. Resume alert can be set to receive daily emails with links to new resumes that match the criteria for the positions looking to fill.  Indeed sends the candidate info to employers.

Indeed is a true “job search engine,” which works by aggregating job postings from many different sources, including: Jobs posted directly on Indeed by employers, Jobs posted on employer sites, Jobs posted on job boards, Jobs posted on newspaper websites and other online classifieds.Indeed.com throws all those job postings into a gigantic database and adds powerful searching capabilities. The search tips could reduce 10% of job search time in applying for jobs online. The source code, on every page they have a title tag and description tag, and they have a fully developed keyword tag. The concept of meta tagging is well done. As a job search site, they have a lot of authority, which probably adds to their ranking power. Ranking high gets them a lot of traffic, which then feeds back into their authority.

In addition to a job board, LinkedIn gives users the ability to find friends and colleagues and build a social network towards professional networking and information sharing. Users can search for professionals outside of their network and then to be introduced by a common connection. Forums and groups are available for networking and discussing specific topics in LinkedIn. LinkedIn generates revenue across four main product lines: Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions, Sales Solutions and Learning Solutions, in addition to collecting Premium Subscriptions. Revenue generated from both enterprise customers and individual members purchasing subscriptions. There are four premium options to choose from depending on how the user wishes to take advantage of the site: one for job seekers; one for professional networking and business promotion; one for generating sales leads and finding potential new customers; and one for employers or recruiters to post jobs and find talent.

The recruiter receives an “Easy Apply” application, they see the snapshot LinkedIn profile—namely your photo, headline, past and present job titles, education, and any skills listed.  If the  account is premium ,the exact profile views will be known.

LinkedIn developed many custom data pipelines for streaming and queueing data. For example, when data needed to flow into data warehouse,send batches of data into Hadoop workflow for analytics, collected and aggregated logs from every service, when collecting tracking events like pageviews,it is needed queueing for in Mail messaging system, and to keep people search system up to date whenever someone updated their profile.

Question Description

I’m stuck on a Management question and need an explanation.

 

Hello again. This is a completed assignment that just needs to have certain reports added.

I. Compensation Personal Application Report

Overview

This is your opportunity to get a head start on your future and apply concepts we are studying in class. There are several components to this assignment. This report should be approximately 3 pages in length including the budget (which should be in a table form or excel spreadsheet) and a reference list. Be sure that your paper is professionally presented with sub-headings, page numbers, and appropriate font size (12 inch font with 1 inch margins is standard) and appropriate color ink (black). Avoid providing extraneous information or exceeding required page length or your paper will be docked points. This is a business report so a high level of professionalism is a must. I highly recommend that you create a rubric or check-sheet for yourself and proof-read before you turn this report in to me. Again, before you turn this paper in, please ask yourself is this my best work? Would I be proud of this report if I turned it into my boss at my dream job?

How to write this report

First, research the base pay of a desired and reasonable first job after graduation using at least FIVE different sources. Consider almost any reasonable entry level job that you will be interested in obtaining after graduation. Although www.payscale.com or www.salary.com are good starting places, you need to go beyond and look for respected salary surveys done by professional organizations, magazines, and internal organizations. Another good source may be an informational interview with a respected and knowledgeable professional in your field. Please note, if you will be going to graduate school right away, then please do this assignment as either a first-year graduate student working as a research assistant or as a new professional in your field.

Second, create comprehensive budget for your anticipated expenses. Be sure to include a minimum of 10 different categories (i.e. rent, automobile, clothes, etc.) You may find it helpful to speak with recent alumni, your parents, or professionals in your field for help in determining accurate costs.

Third, you must include a detailed tax breakdown so that you can see what you will actually take home in your paycheck (in other words be sure to show your net pay in addition to your gross pay). Be sure to show the complete tax bite (you may find www.paycheckcity.com or www.salary.com to be useful in performing these calculations).

Finally, you must include a reference list with complete citations of your sources for complete credit. You must include a minimum of five different sources (APA or MLA style ok).

Please note that these reports will be reviewed by TurnItIn

There is a second part to this assignment here. I will upload the docs. Make sure all is included so it looks complete. Please let me know! Please use these and add them. Professor said what I had was not enough!
