Knowing that many people in London would rather hit the pub in their free time instead of spending their free time hunting for a new job, LinkedIn is setting up a pop-up pub called 'The Linked Inn.' Over the course of a few days, LinkedIn is aiming to show people that they can approach their job search in the same way that they pursue social activities.
The Linked Inn will hold daily live job specials from a variety of companies, providing a place for people to meet hiring managers and recruiters for face-to-face connections and informal on-the-spot interviews. The pop-up pub will also be a place for visitors to get tips on making their LinkedIn profile the best it can be.
