Methodology
Talent Pool insights are gathered from LinkedIn's
313M+ members worldwide. We define talent pool
audiences based on the skills and occupations listed
on member profiles.
Competition for talent is defined by the frequency
with which members are contacted by professional
recruiters on LinkedIn. Higher competition for talent
indicates that the average professional in a region is
interacting with recruiters more frequently than their
peers in other regions.
You can use these insights to find untapped pools of
talent by focusing on regions with a high volume of
professionals and low competition.
