Bright uses data insights and matching technology to connect prospects and employers. It will help LinkedIn to improve online matches as well as increase its user base.

Senior vice-president of products and user experience Deep Nishar stated in a blogpost, “What LinkedIn does best is connect talent with opportunity at massive scale. By leveraging Bright’s data-driven matching technology, machine-learning algorithms and domain expertise, we can accelerate our efforts and build out the Economic Graph.”

Bright started its journey in 2011 by the founder Eduardo Vivas. He said the company is excited to join LinkedIn because both firms share a common vision.

Vivas wrote in a blog post, “We share LinkedIn’s passion for connecting talent with opportunity at massive scale. And we agree that the old models for online recruiting are hopelessly broken. Our focus in this endeavor was always the individual — the broken hiring process hurts our economy at a macroeconomic level, but the most acute pain is at the household level. Joining an organization with the talent and resources of LinkedIn will only serve to further ignite our passion for solving this problem. We may become less visible than we were before, but it’s now more likely than ever that you’ll feel the impact of our work.”

How To Grow Your LinkedIn Connections

Posted By: Poketors - October 30, 2013
LinkedIn has served us a lot and its getting better day by day if it is concerned about our professional life. Before building social network it is very much important to know what’s appropriate and what’s considered bad LinkedIn etiquette. 


Here are some tips which can be helpful in determining the LinkedIn factors for growing your connections :

1. Keep Professional View :

Explore the ways on how you would present yourself at an event thronging with prospects and use an image that does some work for your professional profile. Try to use a head shot with a clean background and a smile and a clear view of your eyes and face. 

2. Avoid Keyword-Stuffing :

Always choose three or four top keywords you want to highlight your profile. This is to make sure you show up in search results when people are looking for exactly what you offer.

3. Connection Request Personalization :

Keep the habit of personalizing for each connection request with a reminder of how the person knows you or explain why they should connect with you. It increases the possibility to accept 
the connection request by that person.

4. Endorsements From People :

Try to show someone from your connections that you have visited their profile and value their skills and knowledge about the service they provide. 
Keep endorsing the skills of the people you’re connected with to show others that you appreciate and admire their work.

5. Recommendations : 

Recommendations will help you to be known by the people you are connected to. But never ask for or accept a recommendation from someone you don’t know, or give a recommendation to someone.

6. Contact Information Privacy :

While sending message to people you are connected with, always unselect the option that says, “Allow recipients to see each other’s names and email addresses.” So think about how you would present yourself.


Lastly a bonus tip si that If you wouldn’t do it in person, don’t do it on LinkedIn! Hope the above steps help you to involve with the connections on LinkedIn and make your profile known to others. Share your comments and suggestions.
