The innovative job searching tool based on AI that LinkedIn recently unveiled enables users to specify, using natural language – what they are looking for job-wise. This is a new generative AI tool, which is now accessible to the Premium subscribers in English, that will simplify the job-hunting process, understanding the user’s intent and then delivering on customized job listings.​

Key Highlights: 

• Natural Language Search: Users can input queries like "entry-level brand manager roles in fashion," and the AI interprets the intent to provide relevant job listings.
• Enhanced Job Matching: The AI considers user skills, interests, and goals to align them with suitable opportunities, even if specific job titles aren't mentioned.
• Transparency Features: New indicators show if a company is actively reviewing applicants, average recruiter response times, and whether a job is promoted, helping users make informed decisions.
• AI-Powered Coaching: Premium subscribers gain access to personalized practice scenarios and feedback through LinkedIn Learning, aiding in interview preparation and skill development.
• Recruiter Tools: LinkedIn's AI also assists recruiters by automating tasks like candidate pipeline management, allowing them to focus on meaningful interactions.

This revolutionary approach solves a frequent problem of missed opportunities for job seekers that arise from the uncertainty of job titles or filters. By allowing users to describe their career desires in writing, the manifestation of one’s desires is more meaningful than writing overly generic responses, thus making the job search intuitive and personalized.​

The power of the AI to understand complex questions like, ‘using brand marketing skills to cure cancer’ reveals its ability of linking users with jobs that seem very close to passions and the knowledge set. In addition, the platform’s transparency features offer people inside out with respect to hiring process thereby instilling trust and confidence among job seekers.​

For recruiters then, the AI-powered tools simplify the hiring process by automating repetitive administrative procedures, allowing high level engagement with candidates and a strategic approach to hiring. These tools have been reported to deliver an increase in efficiency and decrease in time to hire for companies such as the Siemens.
