As part of the enterprise sales team I manage 11 Central U.S. states and 4 Canadian provinces. I am active in group, member organization, and trade show speaking engagements as well as on-site company presentations. LinkedIn is able to provide multiple tools to companies for talent acquisition and employment branding including:

Our Enterprise Solutions leverage the power of the LinkedIn professional community that is growing at 2 million new members per month. With almost 1000 corporate customers LinkedIn Talent Advantage has quickly become the number one resource for HR executives and talent acquisition professionals to reach top passive professionals.
*LinkedIn Recruiter was voted the Top HR Product of 2008 by HR Executive Magazine. -
