Millions of professionals use LinkedIn Groups to connect and share insights with like-minded professionals. With hundreds of thousands of career-related postings every month, Groups are also a popular way to find and share new opportunities.

This week, we’ve made improvements to the Jobs tab in Groups that will make it much easier for group members to find and share high-quality job content.

LinkedIn just rolled out an exciting new feature that makes it even easier to reach qualified candidates automatically. Members who view jobs on LinkedIn will now receive targeted job recommendations automatically via email. Powered by LinkedIn’s ‘Jobs You May Be Interested In’ system, the emails include jobs that are personalized for each recipient based on his or her professional profile.

LinkedIn is focused on connecting talent with opportunity at massive scale. Today, we’re proud to announce the upcoming LinkedIn Referral Engine (coming in 2011), which will connect companies with the best talent resource they have—the thousands or millions of people their employees already know.
