LinkedIn’s CEO, Ryan Roslansky, highlighted the importance of AI in reshaping the recruitment landscape. He emphasised the need for innovative approaches in the industry and said, “AI is not just accelerating the need for a new ‘playbook’ in the industry but will be the tool to help build it.”

LinkedIn has witnessed a remarkable 65% increase in interest in its AI course offerings over the past year. While the new AI-powered recruiting and learning tools are currently available to a select group of users, they are expected to become more widely accessible in the future.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft, the parent company of LinkedIn, has a strategic partnership with OpenAI, the creator of the renowned AI chatbot ChatGPT. This collaboration has empowered LinkedIn to integrate advanced AI technology into its platform.

In May, LinkedIn introduced AI-assisted messages for recruiters, a feature that has reportedly saved 74% of users time in their recruitment activities.

LinkedIn’s move into AI integration is reflective of a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies are increasingly leveraging AI-powered applications to enhance their operations. Recently, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), unveiled an AI chat assistant called Meta AI, aimed at integrating AI capabilities into Meta-owned platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
