If you haven't logged into LinkedIn lately you will be surprised when you do because they have now activated their new interface which had been in beta testing.

 

I find it easier to navigate LinkedIn now, with less clicks to get to what I want. In fact, you can now add a people search module right to your LinkedIn Home Page that shows you any new profiles matching your criteria! This is effectively a "pervasive" search meaning that it acts as an agent and will show you any new results matching your criteria. You can search by Company and Title.  

 

 

When you log in, on the right hand side right below the advertisement you should see the default modules "ProfileViews" along with a few others like "People" and  "Answers." Below that there's  button to "Add a module" with a plus sign to the left of it. Hover over that button with your mouse and click on "People Search" and this will now display a search by Company and Title right on your home page. Enter the criteria then click the save button and this new search will always appear on your home page. You can add a few of these to match your most critical research projects.

 

I'm still holding out for the ability to search through my incoming requests though...

 

How do you feel about the new face lift?

 

Cheers,
