More and more people have at least one social media account, the big three being Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
LinkedIn, the social network aimed at business people, was launched in 2003. In the meantime it has grown to more than 675 million members and more than 30 million company profiles.
Using CheckMarket you can easily share your survey on LinkedIn by posting it in discussion groups, on your company page or by sending a LinkedIn Inmail to your LinkedIn connections without having to leave the tool.

Can you target specific job titles even if they are not part of your network?
Nadia De Vriendt - May, 2017
Hi Caroline
Yes you can target specific job titles in LinkedIn. You can do so via LinkedIn Advertisements. The ‘Job function’ and ‘Job title’ filters are available there.
For more info, please have a look at this LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/722/targeting-options-and-best-practices-for-linkedin-advertisements?lang=en

I posted on Linkedin but it stated “survey is not live yet”.

hi Gilbert
Have you launched your survey? It needs to be “live” for respondents to be able to access it. This article explains how to launch a survey: https://fe-stage.checkmarket.com/kb/how-do-i-launch-my-survey/
