LinkedIn has also overhauled all its job pages to include AI-powered assessments of a candidate’s fit for a role, with feedback.
The platform observed that searching for jobs can be exhausting, with job seekers often finding it difficult to know the best part to get there. Every day, these job seekers spend hours looking at job details pages attempting to guess the answers to a few questions.
With the introduction of Al-powered features to enhance job search, it marks a significant advancement in LinkedIn’s mission to connect professionals with job opportunities. By leveraging artificial intelligence, LinkedIn aims to reduce the time and effort involved in the job search process, making it more efficient and effective.
Job seekers can now benefit from a more personalized and data-driven approach to finding jobs, ensuring that they are better prepared and more competitive in the job market. These features are especially beneficial in today’s fast-paced and competitive job environment, where standing out to employers is crucial.
Also, the career site has announced new features like a pilot for AI-powered expert advice, an interactive chat to break down information in LinkedIn courses, and more AI features that can be used to search for and apply for jobs for its premium users in English. The changes showcase a massive push by LinkedIn to capitalize on generative AI.
However, it is interesting to note that LinkedIn has ramped up its generative AI tools in the past year and is moving to incorporate the tech into even more of its offerings.
Toward the end of last year, LinkedIn started testing the AI-powered job search guide. The company is also promising that it will improve the platform’s search more broadly with generative Al, though it didn’t share much in the way of specifics.
Speaking on this LinkedIn Chief Product Officer Tomer Cohen said,
“With our new search capabilities, every search interaction becomes smarter – whether you’re looking to find someone, explore jobs, conduct outreach, or seek knowledge and answers. Al is set to revolutionize our search capabilities, enabling you to explore the depth and breadth of any topic directly through LinkedIn search”.
To stay current with the trends of the working world and to enhance usability for its nearly 1 billion users, Linkedin is poised to unveil a string of new AI features.
