Amidst coronavirus pandemic, professional networking platform LinkedIn has decided to offer free job postings to companies for the frontline roles in healthcare (including medical device, medical practice and mental health care), supermarket, warehousing, freight delivery, and disaster relief non-profits.

The free postings will be available from April 1 to June 30, 2020 for companies to find and recruit people needed to fill these critical positions.

The global professional network will help job seekers with the right skills to quickly search opportunities by promoting them on its jobs page.

Moreover, in a bid to help support its healthcare staffing customers, LinkedIn is offering access to 'LinkedIn Talent Insights' for three months to give customers real-time data and insights to identify critical healthcare professionals efficiently.

"Every day we are hearing heroic stories of how those on the frontlines are working around the clock to protect the public. It's clear, however, that more help is needed to fill the most urgent open roles. That is why we are bolstering our efforts to help accelerate the hiring of people with relevant skills that are most needed in India right now," said Ruchee Anand, Director of Talent and Learning Solutions, India at LinkedIn.
