AI Takes the Interview Chair
LinkedIn launched Hiring Assistant, its first true AI agent, targeting the lucrative recruitment sector. The tool transforms rough notes into job descriptions, sources candidates, and manages recruitment communications – tasks traditionally handled by human recruiters.
Major enterprises including AMD, Canva, and Siemens already use the system.
More Than Just Another AI Tool
Built on OpenAI’s GPT technology and LinkedIn’s massive database of 1 billion users, the AI assistant emphasizes skills-based matching over traditional metrics like location or education.
The platform integrates seamlessly third-party tracking systems and promises upcoming features for interview scheduling and candidate follow-ups.
Business Strategy Meets AI Innovation
This move targets LinkedIn’s profitable Talent Solutions division, which generated $7 billion in 2023.
The strategy mirrors the success of AI features in driving Premium subscriptions, suggesting a broader transformation of LinkedIn’s revenue model through AI integration.
