LinkedIn Launches AI Agent That Performs Recruitment Roles
LinkedIn, a social media site where professionals can network with people in their industry, look for work, and hone their abilities, has announced its most recent attempt to create AI tools for users.
In a statement, LinkedIn Talent Solutions’ vice president of product, Hari Srinivasan, stated that the firm is introducing an AI-powered digital assistant with the recently revealed “Hiring Assistant,” which is meant to do important hiring duties.
According to LinkedIn, the AI assistant is currently operational with a “select group” of clients, including major corporations like AMD, Canva, Siemens, and Zurich Insurance.
In the upcoming months, a wider rollout is planned. The purpose of the “Hiring Assistant” is to automate tedious, repetitive procedures in the hiring process.
From quick notes, the algorithm can identify possible prospects and create comprehensive job adverts.
The algorithm-based method is especially notable since it uses artificial intelligence to assess applicants based solely on their skills rather than factors like residence or educational background.
“The idea is, as the hiring assistant works with the recruiter … it learns from its interactions with the recruiter,” Erran Berger, the company’s lead product engineer, said. He called the feature “experiential memory.”
The tool will offer screening questions and allow hiring professionals to perform outreach in bulk with personalised messages.
Additionally, it learns the user’s preferences through feedback.
“It’s designed to take on a recruiter’s most repetitive task so they can spend more time on the most impactful part of their jobs,” Hari Srinivasan, LinkedIn’s VP of product, said in an interview — “a big statement,” he admitted.
We earlier reported that LinkedIn is entering the gaming industry.
The launch is coming a few weeks after they were initially noticed in the app, the platform is formally launching a series of Wordle-style puzzle games.
