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.
