LinkedIn unveils major product upgrades to help employers navigate the new talent landscape

LinkedIn has unveiled a new series of powerful generative AI-driven tools and features to enhance the talent acquisition and development capabilities of HR professionals and employers.

The 2024 Recruiter Release with generative AI-assisted recruiting experience allows recruiters to articulate their hiring goals in natural language. By pairing generative AI with LinkedIn’s unique insights gained from the more than 950 million professionals, 65 million companies, and 40,000 skills on our platform, LinkedIn has reimagined their Recruiter product to help customers find that short list of qualified candidates — faster.

With the new Recruiter 2024 experience, talent leaders can use natural language and put their hiring goal in their own words like “I want to hire a senior growth marketing leader.” And with generative AI combined with LinkedIn insights, we can infer the type of candidate the hirer is looking for and provide higher-quality candidate recommendations from a much wider pool of candidates — moving beyond the brand-name companies that have traditionally been the default.

Generative AI will enable LinkedIn Recruiter to conduct searches across all of LinkedIn's data, identifying candidates based on relevant skills without the need for rigid checkboxes.

The updated LinkedIn Recruiter will also offer proactive suggestions to recruiters, such as recommending searches in new locations or suggesting hybrid roles to expand the pool of suitable candidates.

LinkedIn Learning users will soon have access to an AI-powered coach. The AI coach will provide real-time career advice and personalised content recommendations to users Instead of providing generic answers, the AI coach asks questions to understand the learner's specific situation or goal, offering tailored responses from LinkedIn Learning's extensive library.

The AI coach can assist employees in navigating complex work scenarios.

For example, they can guide employees on how to respond when asked for feedback by a manager or leader. This innovation aims to democratise access to learning and coaching, benefiting new employees and those entering the workforce.

These new tools aim to empower HR and talent professionals to drive significant changes within their organisations. They help identify barriers, prepare talent for the future, and create thriving workplaces.
