It looks as if LinkedIn’s hegemony is about to end. People looking to further their professional careers might feel more attracted to this new professional network, as Path.to comes with a series of features that make hiring people online a much better-informed task. Prominently among them is the endorsement system that is employed. This basically lets users get endorsements based on specific skills, instead of the generic endorsements that they can currently get on LinkedIn.
Endorsements can be requested (and also given) from the dashboard that users get when signing up for a Path.to account. This dashboard is actually other of the main selling points of Path.to, as it gives users ready access to personal analytics showcasing which sites are linking to their profiles. Users are in fact sent a direct notification whenever any new site begins linking to them, so that they get to take advantage of the whole situation and strike while the iron is hot.
And Path.to also comes with a series of leaderboards that list the top talent in cities, regions and states. They’re meant to encourage users to keep on refining their skills and the way they’re presenting them to the world, and they’re certainly yet another feature that gives the site an edge over LinkedIn, and pretty much every other professional network currently available. Let’s see how LinkedIn takes to all this activity, now. But whatever happens, it’s clear that the experience of users of professional networks is being redefined for good.
