Today, LinkedIn has an international presence and is available in 24 languages.

In the first month after launching in May 2003, LinkedIn had already grown to 4,500 members. The idea for LinkedIn was born in 2002 in the living room of cofounder Reid Hoffman, along with fellow cofounders Allen Blue, Eric Ly, Konstantin Guericke, and Jean Luc-Vaillant. Professionals from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, so long as they have a passion for empowering and improving the lives of LinkedIn members. The management team at LinkedIn is made up of professionals from companies that include Yahoo!, Google, PayPal, and Microsoft, and the company cares deeply about supporting student and graduate careers, sustainability, and diversity. As an employer, LinkedIn has stated that the majority of its 16,000+ employees 'can work from home forever,' though the company has also offered freelance, optional remote, and hybrid remote work arrangements in the past. LinkedIn is an online professional network that now has nearly 800 million registered users throughout more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
