THE world’s largest social network for professionals has marked its first Ireland anniversary by announcing plans to bring 100 jobs to the country.

LinkedIn, which has more than 100 million members across the globe, has confirmed it is seeking new employees in sales, business development and marketing, among others, over the next 12 months.

At a meeting with Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, later today, it will reveal the posts are to become available by March 2012 — with 15 positions open immediately.
