The Titles tab of the LinkedIn Talent Insights Talent Pool Report provides insights into the job titles relevant to your talent pool and helps you to define the job title for your open positions.
You can access the Titles tab on the online version of the Talent Pool Report. To access the online report, sign into LinkedIn Talent Insights and create a new Talent Pool Report or select an existing report from the Continue where you left off section in the homepage.
The Titles tab includes the following insights:
What are the most common titles among this talent? – This section displays the most common titles relevant for the talent pool, the number of members holding these job titles, the gender distribution, and the number of your employees on LinkedIn with these job titles.
What are the fastest growing skills among this talent? – This section displays the fastest growing titles for the target talent pool, the rate of growth of these job titles, and the number of your employees on LinkedIn with these titles.
LinkedIn uses machine learning to classify more than 60 million unique job titles entered by members in their profiles into standardized titles to make them searchable in Talent Insights. There are more than 25,000 different standardized titles in the titles taxonomy that are searchable.
For example, Software Engineers on LinkedIn might input their titles as a Software Engineer, SWE, Software Eng., or Software Developer. All of these member-input titles are mapped to the standardized job title “Software Engineer”. This simplifies searching for users by capturing all variations of a title using a single keyword.
Talent Insights groups related standardized job titles. When searching for a job title such as “Software Engineer”, we automatically expand the search to include all related standardized job titles such as “Senior Software Engineer” and “Freelance Software Engineer”.
