LinkedIn industry options for profiles and Pages

Last updated: 3 months ago

Important to know

We are currently updating our industry taxonomy to align with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) standards. The available options in Recruiter and Talent Insights are listed in Filter candidates by industry in Recruiter and Talent Insights. Note that this may not include all of the industries that are in the "Full list of V2 industries" linked at the bottom of this article. This update is rolling out gradually and you may not see this change reflected in your application yet.

LinkedIn profiles and Pages allow you to choose an industry that best matches your company or the type of work that you do. When you add an industry, other people can more easily find you or your Page when searching for someone in your industry. Adding an industry also helps connect you to relevant opportunities, connections, and content.

You can choose from the industry options currently available. Keep in mind that our industry options may change over time as we continually work to improve the experience.

You can add an industry by editing your LinkedIn Page or profile.
