Connecting organizations on the front lines of COVID-19 with talent

Connecting organizations on the front lines of COVID-19 with talent

We’re hearing from organizations on the front lines of the global COVID-19 pandemic -- from healthcare organizations and hospital systems to disaster relief nonprofits -- that being able to ramp up recruiting efforts will be crucial to their success in the coming weeks and months. 

As the world’s largest online professional network, we believe we can help by connecting essential businesses that need to quickly find new talent with people who have the right skills. This could be connecting a retired nurse with the skills to help treat patients or someone looking to support their neighbors who need a helping hand with the organizations that most need them. 

To get started, we’re leveraging our Recruiting for Good program and scaling it to meet the urgent needs related to this global pandemic. We’ll expand this longstanding program where LinkedIn employees with a deep knowledge of our recruitment tools work with nonprofits hire critical talent. 

Currently we have more than 40 employees from our own recruiting organization who are ready to volunteer their time to help nonprofits expand their efforts. They will work on sourcing talent for healthcare organizations, hospitals and disaster relief nonprofits fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve seen this program work as we’ve helped hundreds of nonprofits around the world find and hire senior level talent.  

If you are a qualifying organization* that is looking for help with recruiting for urgent paid or volunteer opportunities, please submit a request via the form linked below and we will reach out to determine how best we can partner together. 

Recruiting For Good Intake Form

*The pilot program is open to organizations that: 

  • Are providing services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Are in the healthcare sector or are disaster relief nonprofit
  • In the coming weeks, we hope to expand to organizations in other sectors as well.

Here in China we are finishing the battle, and in our village no case has occurred. And the next but one village is not lucky. Do not go out unless you have to. Safety distance and facial masks may not always work, although they are necessary when going out. Eat something especially good for the lung, like ginkgo nuts, white turnip, apricot...
