Between LinkedIn’s copious amounts of hiring data, and Snagajob’s data on the hourly workforce, the two plan to provide insight into the hourly market. In their official announcement, Snagjob unveiled the importance of the partnership, emphasizing the effects of lower unemployment rates and voluntary turnover. On top of the partnership, Snagajob’s 65 million members will gain access to Lynda.com, an education platform that LinkedIn acquired in 2015 for $1.5 billion. The platform will give Snagajob’s community of hourly job seekers access to thousands of courses tied to management and professional skills. Later in the year the two plan to integrate products and produce joint research projects.
