New AI-powered tool to help you find qualified candidates faster
The world of work is always changing - from the technologies we use to do our jobs to the skills we need to develop in our careers - and today it's driven by AI. We know that the number one goal of hirers is to find the right candidate fast and we're uniquely positioned to leverage AI to help our customers do this.
Building AI into our talent products isn't new for us - whether it's through job recommendations for our members, recommended matches in LinkedIn Recruiter or surfacing relevant learning recommendations to build skills, we use AI to help hirers attract the best possible candidate with the right skills for the role.
I haven’t been this in awe about the possibilities of a new technology for a long time, and we are exploring a number of new ways to integrate generative AI throughout our product, from helping every step of the recruiter journey and job seeker journey to changing the way we learn digitally. We’re excited to keep investing in this space and rolling out new products over the next few months that will help hirers be even more productive and successful in their jobs.
Today, we’re announcing two new offerings:
Write job descriptions faster so you can focus on the most strategic parts of your job
We know that 75% of hirers hope that generative AI can free up time for more strategic work and that two thirds (67%) hope that generative AI can help them uncover new candidates*. That's why we're testing AI-powered job descriptions, leveraging an advanced OpenAI GPT model, to help hirers find qualified candidates more quickly and free up time for the more strategic parts of their hiring process - like speaking to and building relationships with candidates.
Now with AI-powered job descriptions, all job posters need to do is provide starter information - like job title, company name, workplace type, job type, and location - and a draft description will be created for the poster to review and edit. We’re also giving hirers the opportunity to enhance their job description by choosing someone in their network who has similar skills to what they’re looking for in their next hire and incorporating these skills into the job description with one click.
How does all of this work? We leverage the data that our customers have chosen to share with us that is already inputted into our platform and then we use AI to help format and create all the elements of a great job description.
We'll begin testing this new experience in English to a limited number of job posters in the US, India, UK, Canada, and Australia starting today with plans to roll it out globally later this year.
Build new AI skills with over 100 free courses
As you start to think about how AI can help you in your job, we’re here to help you learn. We're making over 100 AI courses free through June 15, 2023, spanning different levels, languages and topics. Our courses span beginner AI courses like Responsible AI: Principles and Practical Applications in English to more advanced courses like Python for Data Science 2 in German. We're also making courses free across industries - whether you're in marketing, human resources or IT, we have something for you.
And if you're looking to learn more about generative AI specifically, we have several new courses from expert AI leaders, including a course from LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer, Tomer Cohen:
We know that everyone learns differently and that's why we have a range of ways to help you build AI skills from nano-Learning courses like our course on Generative AI and marketing to our “Future in Tech” Office Hours series where you can engage and ask questions with AI leaders. And if you want to dive deep into AI, we have Learning Paths covering responsible AI foundations and advanced pathways.
We’re not stopping here. Over the next few months we’ll be rolling out an additional 20+ new Generative AI courses and a new series taught by LinkedIn's engineering and AI leaders.
We know that AI models will continue to rapidly advance and as we explore the different ways we can use these new technologies, we're committed to being transparent, listening and learning, and ensuring our products are built responsibly. We're excited for what's to come. Watch this space!

1yVery cool! Any insights on what makes an great job posting and how that is defined?

1yThere is a lot of value in this tool and I am excited to see it on the road map. I recently used GPT to write a job description for a role that was brand new for me. Job title, location, and a few key skills delivered a decent response, but it was too long and generic. So I added a prompt that I'd like it to be more personal and concise. A few minor edits later and I was able to deliver a solid job description to a key customer.

1yInteresting... I'm a tech recruiter and often use GPT to explain how different skills and or titles overlap and what to look for to differentiate. It does OK when constantly directed but runs into similar logical gaps as other boards/tools in that it creates logical equivalents. Example, I'll ask for things that are uniquely indicative of a developer at a certain level or with a certain skill. It will produce some useful advice but 80% will be generic things that are not unique to or indicative of a certain skillset or skill level. Maybe I'm just a control freak but I already dread it being incorporated and being given directive to widen the search pool that can't be overcome (like how recruiter search will still ignore quotes and fill in word trees at times)

1ySo an AI will write the job description. Then AI writes an application for that position. Might as well let the AI take care of the interview as well? There are multiple studies done about the inaccuracy and inefficiency of job interviews. After the candidate is accepted, an AI driven car takes him to the workplace, where he starts doing his job, mostly by using an AI. The whole recruiting process could be fully automated. When an emploment ends, the company's internal AI will automatically start looking for a best fitting candidate, and the employee's personal AI will start applying for suitable job openings. If an employment is terminated on friday, both the company and the employee could have a new signed employment contract for monday. 📝 It surely is an interesting future we are heading towards. 🤔
