Business and employment-focused social media platform LinkedIn has introduced Artificial Intelligence (AI) based writing suggestions, which are available to users who seek to revamp their LinkedIn profiles and those who compose job descriptions.
The job hunting and business platform now uses GPT (Generative Pre-trained transformer) 3.5 and 4 models to enable users to write recruitment ads and personalized profiles respectively.
Speaking on the latest AI features, LinkedIn Chief Product Officer Tomer Cohen explained that the company has intensified the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and is actively exploring numerous promising opportunities to create unique value and innovation to enhance user experience.

A large percentage of LinkedIn’s main clients are recruiters; hence it is exploring more ways to aid recruiters in job descriptions and the likes. All a recruiter has to do is input basic information like the company’s name and job title, then the AI tool will generate a suggested job description for them to review and edit, saving them time and effort while still giving them the flexibility to customize the post to their taste.
LinkedIn’s Chief Product Officer disclosed that by streamlining this part of the hiring process, recruiters can focus their energy on the more strategic aspects of their job. Also, the social media platform launched a GPT-4 tool that creates summaries for user profiles. It analyzes the data from a job seeker’s skills and experiences.
The AI tool outlines the most impressive qualities of the user and emphasizes the information generated in the headline and about-section description. The AI writing prompts for profiles are aimed at helping people who have trouble writing their overviews of what they have done and achieved but might at least be able to spell out some of what they have done, which in turn gets translated into a more fluid narrative by the AI.
Thus, this can be of great advantage to job seekers enabling them to make a better first impression to recruiters, which can lead them to securing their desired job. However, LinkedIn’s AI feature is not available to every user, as it is only available to premium users which costs $29.99 monthly. Asides from these recent additions, LinkedIn also launched AI-powered collaborative articles last week that create more content based on conversation starters.
LinkedIn has therefore sought to offer more than 100 AI courses for free to all users until June 15, 2023. Founded in 2003, LinkedIn connects the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. With more than 850 million members worldwide, including executives from every Fortune 500 company, LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network.
The company has a diversified business model with revenue coming from Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions, Sales Solutions, and Premium Subscriptions products.
