LONDON, ENGLAND – NOVEMBER 24: The “Tinder” app logo is seen amongst other dating apps on a mobile phone screen on November 24, 2016 in London, England. Following a number of deaths linked to the use of anonymous online dating apps, the police have warned users to be aware of the risks involved, following the growth in the scale of violence and sexual assaults linked to their use.

LinkedIn users will soon have a new tool to help further their career goals. The 'Tinder for mentors' service will match experienced professionals with people who are looking for work and development in specific areas.

A trial of the service is currently being run in San Francisco and Australia, but it could soon be rolled out across the globe.

If the trial run proves a success, the option could become available to LinkedIn users everywhere.
