Problem Statement Description
Product context: LinkedIn is Microsoft's professional network; its products include profiles, feed, jobs, recruiting, LinkedIn Learning, sales tools, messaging, and ads.
LinkedIn Company Pages are a key destination for members who want to understand an employer’s business, culture, jobs, employees, content, and credibility. For career switchers, this surface can be especially important: they may be exploring unfamiliar industries, trying to assess whether their current skills transfer, identifying learning gaps, and looking for proof that people like them have successfully moved into similar roles.
Redesign the mobile Company Pages experience for career switchers at global scale. Focus on the end-to-end member journey from discovering a company, evaluating whether it is a realistic fit, understanding relevant roles and skills, finding people or content that build confidence, and deciding what to do next. The experience should account for LinkedIn’s broader ecosystem across professional identity, jobs, learning, networking, company content, and recruiter/employer needs.
This is a product design question, so the emphasis is on user needs, workflow friction, prioritization, and product experience—not on producing a visual mockup. Consider how the mobile context changes behavior: short sessions, limited screen space, variable connectivity, multilingual users, and high intent but often low confidence among switchers.
The experience should consider:
- The primary career switcher segments, such as early-career movers, mid-career transitions, return-to-work members, industry changers, geography changers, and members moving from nontraditional backgrounds.
- The current friction in Company Pages, including difficulty interpreting company fit, role accessibility, transferable skills, culture signals, employee pathways, and trustworthy next steps.
- How Company Pages should connect company discovery with jobs, skills, learning, employees, posts, alumni-like career paths, and saved or followed companies.
- What information career switchers need before they are willing to engage, follow, apply, message, learn, or compare companies.
- Global-scale constraints, including localization, market differences in hiring norms, privacy expectations, data quality, accessibility, and uneven company content completeness.
- Trust and identity considerations, including how to avoid misleading claims, over-personalization, spammy employer messaging, or reinforcing bias in career recommendations.
- How the redesigned experience could create value for members while still supporting LinkedIn’s employer, recruiter, and B2B monetization ecosystem.
- Success signals that indicate the experience helps career switchers make better decisions, not just increases clicks or applications.
The goal is to define a compelling mobile Company Pages experience that helps career switchers evaluate companies with confidence, understand realistic pathways into new roles, and take meaningful next steps within LinkedIn’s professional network.
