Comment on Why LinkedIn's head of recruiting asks every job candidate what they want to do after LinkedIn

LinkedIn Before you even get a job at LinkedIn, you'll be asked what you want to do after you leave the company. It's about being transparent and honest in a way that's mutually beneficial, Brendan Browne, LinkedIn's head of recruiting, told Business Insider. Browne has been with LinkedIn since 2010, and he was inspired to take this approach by Reid Hoffman, the professional social network's founder. In his 2014 book "The Alliance," Hoffman said that everyone knows the days of lifelong employment at a single company are long dead, but most companies still operate under a charade where everyone pretends they'll never leave. Taking Hoffman's advice, Browne decided to incorporate a discussion around this topic into the interviewing process, before someone even has an offer at LinkedIn. He said that his role as a recruiter is "really building trust with you as quickly as possible, to see if you're willing to give me any indication, or a large description, of what you want to do with your life professionally and then have a conversation around what aligns with what LinkedIn does.
