In its earlier incarnations, LinkedIn, far and away the leader in business networking sites, took the slow road in developing its internal content. Most user-to-user interaction was relegated to either connection invitations or their Answers section. Job postings were still a work in progress, either as a paid direct posting or through job search engine SimplyHired. At the time, LinkedIn Groups was a non-searchable entity, with very little interaction between group members.
Over the past couple, of years, however, the dynamic of LinkedIn Groups has changed dramatically, to the extent that it, if it hasn’t already, will overtake the traditional job board as a primary source for employment.
