How this ranking works
Only complete, indexable LinkedIn reports enter this directory. Profiles are ordered by the public follower count stored with their latest qualifying report. The profile-audit grade adds context, but it does not change the ranking order.
This is a sample of audited profiles, not a complete ranking of every account on LinkedIn. Read the data methodology.
