As a service provider, who also works with forum configurations, I agree with the default behavior that LinkedIn should link to user profiles (thus linking to talent) versus companies as the user profiles would not generally link to their employer and would generally link to their social profile (since that's what the feature links to, social profiles vs company profiles).

I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral. I have provided free User to User Support since the beginning of these support forums.
