LinkedIn recently announced their new generative AI features for LinkedIn Recruiter. Of course, many of these features are enabled by GPT, the algorithm from OpenAI which is partly owned by Microsoft, which owns LinkedIn...

After a lot of new platforms in the market launched generative AI in their recruitment tools, AI messaging tools and completely automated ways of recruitment, LinkedIn had to follow.

The new LinkedIn features are introduced to support the recruitment process by automating tasks with features powered by GPT.

In this blog we provide an overview of the new features:

AI-assisted candidate discovery

Sourcing, filtering, and selecting suitable candidates is a time-consuming process for recruiters. With AI-assisted candidate discovery, LinkedIn Recruiter aims to streamline this process. Although the features seem very similar to the filters that were already in place in LinkedIn Recruiter, there are some new features that stand out like autogenerated keywords.

What's new in LinkedIn Recruiter:

• Chat based interface to talk to LinkedIn Recruiter to get to your search results instead of using filters and boolean strings
• Location suggestions to identify talent in nearby areas

What the new LinkedIn Recruiter does not offer:

• Search across several platforms to find candidates, like developer platforms, CV databases or other social media platforms

Smarter suggestions

LinkedIn Recruiter now offers smarter suggestions to expand search results. These suggestions cover various criteria such as locations, job titles, skills, and companies.

What's new in LinkedIn Recruiter:

• Recommendations for additional parameters that recruiters may not have considered
• Search broadening to potentially uncover hidden talent

What the new LinkedIn Recruiter does not offer:

• Completely automated search and recruitment is not something LinkedIn offers, other recruitment tools still offer a higher level of automation in the recruitment process
