A recent Roy Morgan Single Source survey showed that 24 per cent of Australian workers aged 14+ visit the LinkedIn website. The survey also found that 65 per cent of CEOs, General Managers and Legislators use the career networking site in an average four weeks, followed by Information and Communications Technology professionals (57 per cent) and Business, Human Resource and Marketing Professionals (45 per cent). The value for Microsoft, as it moves away from consumer products toward providing business technology services like cloud platforms and large-scale software subscriptions, is that LinkedIn’s biggest users are not just workers, but business decision-makers: those employees, partners, and business owners responsible for determining their companies’ expenditure across a range of categories – including software and computer services. Roy Morgan’s survey of business decision-makers shows that almost 950,000 Australians made or contributed to decisions in their organisation regarding computer software or online services in the past year – and 38 per cent of them (360,000) use LinkedIn.
