Top LinkedIn Hashtags by Category
LinkedIn hashtags are followable, which makes them behave unlike anywhere else: the number beside each one is an audience, not an archive. Three to five per post, and prefer a tag with a hundred thousand engaged followers over one with two million passive ones.

How many to use: 3–5 on one LinkedIn post. Every hashtag below is one people actually use in volume, so pick the ones that genuinely describe the post rather than the ones at the top — relevance is what decides whether a large hashtag works for you.

Check these numbers yourself
Every figure on this page was read off one of these surfaces by a person. They are all free, and most of them do not need an account — so if a number here looks wrong to you, the fastest way to find out is to go and look.
- LinkedIn hashtag pagesEach tag page publishes a follower count, which is LinkedIn’s equivalent of a volume and the number the entries here carry. Unusually, it is a count of an audience rather than of posts.
- LinkedIn content searchSort by latest to check a tag is still in active use. LinkedIn tags decay quietly — the follower count stays high long after people stop posting to it.
