As it looks to play a key role in connecting users to opportunity in the gradual COVID-19 recovery, LinkedIn is reportedly developing a new freelance marketplace platform which will enable businesses to find, connect with, and pay freelancers all on the platform.

As reported by The Information:

“LinkedIn is developing a new service called Marketplaces to let its 740 million users find and book freelancers, pitting it against publicly traded firms such as Upwork and Fiverr, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.”
