LinkedIn has unveiled two new AI-powered features designed to help candidates 
land their perfect job. 

Using AI, Jobs Match is set to tell applicants how well their profile matches 
a roles qualifications before they proceed to the next stages, helping them 
to find the most suitable role. 

On the other side of the process, HR professionals from smaller businesses 
will be able to use the recruitment platform AI agent to create job ads, find 
qualified candidates and vet candidates suitability. LinkedIn enhances the 
job-finding process 

In an effort to address the ongoing global skills shortage, LinkedIn has 
promised to make these tools free to all users, however Premium subscribers 
will get enhanced versions of the tools with more detailed information. 

These new tools represent a next generation of AI for LinkedIn, running on 
its own proprietary models and first-party data rather than OpenAIs models, 
which power many of the platforms other smart tools. 

At the same time, LinkedIn recently published research revealing two in five 
(42%) hirers say not even half of applicants match their desired criteria. 

With four fifths (79%) of recruiters now saying theyre finding the hiring 
process harder than before, LinkedIn hopes its new AI tools will help them 
adapt to a changing jobs market. More than half (55%) of the jobs listed on 
the social networking platforms UK Jobs on the Rise list didnt even exist 25 
years ago, which highlights the scale of the challenge facing recruiters. 

LinkedIn Product Manager Rohan Rajiv said to TechCrunch : [Theyre] spending 
three to five hours a day sifting through applications, and finding that less 
than half of the job applications submitted are actually meeting the required 
criteria This is completely broken, and we know that. You might also like Get
