LinkedIn said Thursday that it's rolling out a new design for the business-oriented social network, introducing more messaging features and planning to offer Stories, which lets users post photos and videos that vanish in a day, globally.

LinkedIn has been testing Stories in certain countries such as Brazil, Australia, France and the Netherlands. Now the company said it's launching Stories in the US and Canada but will also roll out the tool globally during the following week.The upcoming global rollout of Stories shows that LinkedIn, like other social networks, is fueling the creation of more video and ephemeral content on its platform.

"It provides members with the freedom to share more authentically," Liz Li, the director of product management at LinkedIn, said in a video shared with press.

Meanwhile, LinkedIn is also getting a new look designed to make it easier for the social network's more than 706 million members to navigate the site and app. The makeover includes more white space.
Users will be able to use the search bar to find groups, content and events, he said.

LinkedIn is also pushing further into messaging as more members use the tool on the social network.
And messaging on LinkedIn will include icons for videoconferencing services BlueJeans, Zoom and Microsoft, so users can video chat with the tap of button.

LinkedIn: A New Look and Feel for LinkedIn

Since our last major redesign nearly five years ago, LinkedIn has evolved from a place to create your professional profile online and search for others, to an active community of more than 700M professionals worldwide.

And today, I couldn’t be more excited to announce we’re redesigning LinkedIn to make your LinkedIn experience easy, inclusive, enjoyable, and most importantly to put the community front and center.
This new LinkedIn experience is warmer and embodies our diverse, inclusive and trusted community. It is also simpler, more modern, and more intuitive, allowing for easier navigation and discovery.

Based on that need to connect, we’ve also added a more human way of sharing by introducing Stories.
Through tests in various regions around the world, we’ve seen members adopt this format to connect more personally and less formally with their peers and friends.

And for those moments when a face-to-face meeting is the best way to get things done, we’re helping there, too. Now, with one click, you can start a video call over Teams, BlueJeans by Verizon, or Zoom directly from a message thread.

LinkedIn wants to help job seekers and employees alike who were displaced by COVID-19 find new jobs amid the pandemic.

The Microsoft-owned social networking site has announced a new service called Career Explorer tool, available worldwide in beta in English starting today.
The new tool is meant to match the users' skills with jobs they may not have otherwise considered, but could fit into anyway. Career Explorer will then offer some tips on what additional skills members may need to learn in order to qualify for the job.

It will also surface some of their LinkedIn contacts who can make an introduction for them. LinkedIn vows to add more localizations and enhancements in the next few months.

"The new 'Hiring' profile photo frame will also make it easy for job-seekers to find open roles," Gupta added.
There's a new subtle profile picture frame as well that indicates when you are hiring or looking for a job. Recruitment officers will be able to post a job on LinkedIn for free in the coming months.
