LinkedIn <\/a> has no plans to make COVID-related layoffs until at least the end of June 2020, the professional network has confirmed to TechCrunch. This announcements comes after Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff\u2019s pledge last month to have no significant layoffs<\/a> for the next 90 days.<\/p>\n

Other business leaders such as Bank of America\u2019s CEO Brian Moynihan and Morgan Stanley\u2019s CEO James Gorman have also agreed to pause any potential layoffs until the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

Layoffs<\/a> are trickling down to all industries, starting in the hospitality and travel industry and moving to recruitment startups and scooter companies. Microsoft-owned LinkedIn, which serves as a social media platform for professionals and recruiters alike, is thus poised to be a critical connector for those laid off.<\/p>\n

So as job security remains on everyone\u2019s mind, LinkedIn\u2019s promise to not have any layoffs will quell some of that fear within the organization, at least in the near future. LinkedIn has approximately 16,000 full-time employees across 30 cities in the world.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how healthy LinkedIn may appear from this news, it\u2019s not immune from making specific cost-saving measures as the economy struggles. The company, reports The Information<\/span><\/a>, has \u201cpaused most of its hiring as it figures out business planning.\u201d It had more the 1 million job applicants last year, according to the piece.<\/p>\n

Update: LinkedIn has clarified that it has no plans to lay off staff for COVID-19 related businesses. It has not pledged or promised this. The story has been updated to reflect this.<\/p>\n
