LinkedIn introduced Hiring Assistant, a new AI recruiters addition to the business platform, to facilitate recruitment tasks, capable of transforming a brief outline into a detailed job description, source candidates, and interact with them.  

The AI LinkedIn recruiter, currently available to a small trial of large enterprises, including AMD, Canva, Siemens and Zurich Insurance. This would be part of LinkedIn’s history in baking AI into its backend systems to improve how the use of AI recruiting service connects users to others and much more. 

AI Recruitment in LinkedIn 

Nonetheless, with the emergence of generative AI in the last few years, LinkedIn fast-tracked developing the front-end tools. Drawing from a partnership with OpenAI, LinkedIn has launched several AI powered features to date, including learning coaches, marketing assistants, and candidate sorters, so this makes AI recruiters yet another milestone. 

For Hari Srinivasan, the Vice president of product at LinkedIn, the AI talent recruitment tool was all about automating some of the repetitive tasks associated with hiring, so active recruiters can focus on the more strategic parts of their jobs. Recruiters can upload a full job description or input certain qualifications and examples from other job postings, which the AI then scans to build a customized channel of candidates. 

It leverages LinkedIn’s giant database entering over 1 billion users’ data, 68 million companies, and 41,000 skills, so that it has a solid foundation if a search for candidates is conducted. It also allows integrations with third party applicant tracking systems and will soon provide features around messaging, interview scheduling, and follow up questions. 

Unlike other AI offerings, the AI recruiters Hiring Assistant is designed for LinkedIn’s business to business (B2B) customers, especially those in talent acquisition. It hasn’t provided recent performance numbers, but Talent Solutions, which accounted for over $7 billion in revenue as of July 2023, said AI was an important driver of that growth. 

With LinkedIn recruiter and AI, a question is asked, will recruiters view them as assets or threats? Either way, it seems that LinkedIn is in it for the long haul with the improvements to the AI talent recruitment tool.  

“We’re really focused on making Hiring Assistant great, so it seems the company is vested in perfecting both the user experience and underpinning technology,” According to Erran Berger, vice president of engineering.
