LinkedIn launches first AI agent to assist recruitment

LinkedIn has launched a new tool, Hiring Assistant, designed to automate and streamline the recruitment process by handling tasks that typically require human recruiters.

Hiring Assistant is LinkedIn’s first dedicated AI agent, created to support businesses in hiring efforts by automating tasks such as drafting job descriptions, managing candidate sourcing, and following up on applicant queries. 

The tool leverages OpenAI’s language model technology, drawing on LinkedIn’s substantial data ecosystem to generate insights for its users.

Currently, Hiring Assistant is being tested with major enterprise clients like AMD, Canva, and Siemens, but a wider release is expected in the coming months. 

The assistant is designed to free recruiters from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus more on strategic recruitment functions. Upcoming updates will further automate parts of the hiring process, like interview scheduling and applicant communications.

With Hiring Assistant, Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is intensifying its focus on B2B services, especially its Talent Solutions division, which generates significant revenue through recruitment-related tools.
