LinkedIn, the social media site that\u2019s aimed at people looking to network or otherwise change up their career prospects, is taking a plunge into location-based services. From today, the company is turning on a new feature that will let job-seekers check out the location and commute time to specific businesses, to help them evaluate whether they would want to work there.<\/p>\n

\u2018Your Commute\u2019 as the feature is called, is now available globally on mobile, providing location data for all businesses where LinkedIn already has location information, and it will be coming soon to desktop, senior product manager Dan Li told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

The feature will appear within job postings on LinkedIn and will become a part of how LinkedIn surfaces job opportunities in its search feature for its 500 million-plus users. \u201cWhen members save their location preferences in Career Interests, we\u2019re able to provide more relevant job recommendations that fit exactly what they\u2019re looking for in their next role,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re thinking through additional ways members can use location information to improve their job searches in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
