I'm very excited about LinkedIn's new release from last night. 

When you do a search and see someone's employer in their profile, you can now click on some of those companies and see a summary page of competitive intelligence! 

Over  160,000 profiles of companies will show this feature and any user can see them. The company profile contains a succinct overview of a company's industry data in combination with LinkedIn data, and it pulls information from Capital IQ. 

What do you see here?

•  A list of all that company's employees to which you are connected
• A list of  RECENT HIRES  from that company! (also from your network)
• A list of people  RECENTLY PROMOTED  at that company! (also from your network)
• A list of companies were people CAME FROM  before they were hired to this company!
• A list of companies people GO TO  when they leave this company!
• A list of companies that this company's employees are "most connected" to!
• What locations do most of the company's employees live in!
• The company's most  common job titles
• From what  universities the company  hires the  most 
• The average  tenure for people at that company (how long they last)
• And a distribution of  AGE and  GENDER at that company!

And soon you will also be able to add, to your company page, the following:

• A list of targeted jobs, recruitment videos, and other promotional material for recruitment efforts
• Information about your company's products and services
• Company images

Cheers,
