There are plenty of dating apps and websites to meet people and LinkedIn is NOT one of them.
The platform is mainly used for professional networking and allows job seekers to post CVs and employers to look for workers.
Desperation is never a good look while you’re job hunting but it’s also not a good look when you’re looking to connect intimately so fusing the two together on LinkedIn is a double no-no.
LinkedUp has the potential to be a dating app but LinkedIn does not. Here are some big-time fails of people trying Tinder moves on LinkedIn. Better luck on a real estate website, guys.
