LinkedIn now posts pro-bono jobs on its Volunteer Marketplace

LinkedIn is where you polish your resume and look for jobs, but now it also wants to be the place you go for volunteering. It's a separate part of LinkedIn's website where nonprofits can post new opportunities, and it also aggregates postings from websites like Catchafire, Taproot Foundation, BoardSource, and VolunteerMatch. Not only does this expand on the LinkedIn Board Connect, a feature that came out in 2012 to help nonprofit leaders find professionals to join their boards, but it's a way for LinkedIn to kill two birds with one stone: get more nonprofits and potential volunteers to use the site, and increase traffic. LinkedIn wants to be more than just your resume updater
