LinkedIn’s latest report on top startups in the U.S. reveals that many high-growth companies are actively hiring and offering six-figure salaries, with a significant number of these roles being remote. The top startups in demand, disrupting various industries such as retail, healthcare, and artificial intelligence, include Ramp (a NYC fintech company), Liquid Death (a canned beverage company), and Whatnot (a livestream shopping platform).
These startups are currently seeking talent in roles spanning engineering, product design, analytics, sales, marketing, operations, customer service, and security, many of which come with salaries of $100,000 or more. Over half of the available positions at these startups are remote.
LinkedIn’s editor in chief, Dan Roth, emphasizes the importance of updating your LinkedIn profile, particularly the skills section, as more than 50% of recruiters now use skills data to fill roles. Recruiters are increasingly searching for candidates based on skills rather than years of experience. Some of the most sought-after skills include IT, software development, data analysis, management, communication, and customer service.
In addition to technical skills, soft skills such as teamwork, collaboration, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a growth mindset are highly valued by startups. Companies like Tapcheck and Zip highlight the importance of these skills in their hiring criteria.
LinkedIn ranked the top 50 startups in the country based on factors like employment growth, engagement, job interest, and their ability to attract top talent away from established companies. This report suggests that it’s an opportune time for job seekers to explore career opportunities with innovative startups offering competitive salaries and remote work options.
