What to do after you’ve followed companies

Study the company page of your followed companies to impress their recruiter or hiring manager in interviews and in your application materials. Learn about company pages.

Check company updates often by clicking the Companies tab and scrolling through the updates list. Also find other companies to follow by reviewing the Companies You May Want to Follow section on the same page.

Check what your connections are saying about companies (and what jobs they are posting) by clicking the “All Updates” link on your home page and selecting Companies.
