LinkedIn introduces new AI-powered features to help professionals find jobs
LinkedIn is launching a number of new artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help members with customised learning and job searching. These artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools were unveiled on Thursday. They include a Jobseeker Coach that can find the ideal job for users based on a text prompt, a tool to analyse applications and resumes, a chatbot that can help create cover letters interactively, and assistance in getting expert guidance. For platform Premium customers, these features are now being pushed out internationally.
Highlights:
- Finds ideal jobs based on text prompts, e.g., "Find me a UI/UX designer job in Bengaluru."
- Evaluates and improves resumes and cover letters with customised recommendations.
- Provides tailored advice from coaches and business experts for Premium users.
LinkedIn unveiled a new feature that falls under the category of the AI-powered work experience on the platform in a press piece. It is only available in English right now, but the company promises to add other languages in the future.
There will be an integrated chatbot, an AI-powered Jobseeker Coach, incorporated. Using straightforward text commands, the chatbot is able to look for jobs. For example, users can write in "Find me a UI/UX designer job in Bengaluru that pays at least Rs. 10 lakh a year" or "Find me a job in cybersecurity within my network," and the AI will search through its database to provide relevant recommendations. Incorporating strategies to stand out in search results is another usage for it by users.
Additionally, LinkedIn is rolling out a feature that evaluates users' applications and resumes and makes them stand out. The AI will provide insightful criticism and customised recommendations that are suited to particular job postings. Furthermore, the application will help enhance the cover letter by providing editable and manually reviewable tips.
A few tools are also being added to the platform to assist professionals in learning new skills and receiving assistance. Expert guidance is a new service that allows coaches and business experts to provide tailored counsel to LinkedIn Premium users. The company stated that these AI bots are taught by actual specialists.
