LinkedIn Is Testing an AI Tool That Could Transform How People Search for Jobs
1 min read
Summary
Professional networking platform LinkedIn is testing a new job-search tool that it hopes will help users find work more efficiently than existing methods, which tend to rely on users knowing which keywords to search for.
The tool uses a bespoke artificial intelligence (AI) large language model (LLM) that combs through data including job descriptions, company info and posts from across the platform to suggest relevant roles.
Hosted queries can be as simple as “show jobs in marketing that pay over $100k”, or as vague as “find me a role where I can use my marketing skills to help the environment”
The new AI-driven service is being previewed to a select group of users, and a spokesperson for LinkedIn confirmed that the company has put safety measures in place to avoid potential algorithmic biases that have been identified in other recruitment tools that use AI.
The new tool also offers insights into the changing world of work, as well as providing recommended skills and advise to help users land the job they are looking for.
