Linkedin is still on the mission to convince hunters The field but the company unfolds a new set of updates based on AI to its functions to search for work, which, as he hopes, will make this prospect more attractive.
The company introduces an updated search tool that is aimed at simplifying applicants to find the appropriate roles. Until now, the Linkedin work function has been based mainly on comparing keywords. Nevertheless, with the update of LinkedIn, he refuses keywords in favor of AI, so his system is able to understand the lists of vacancies at a much deeper level. This should, according to the company, allow hunters for work in search of publications using a greater natural language.
“Previously, the search was (a) a very specific pair of boxes, and the box that really had meaning was a box that said:“ Show me a name or keyword or skill, ”and you mainly have to hope that you will find a name or keyword or skill that the system understands,” explains the LinkedIn product manager Rohan Radzhiv. Now, however, he says that work seekers should simply “say what you want and the system will understand you.”
This may sound like a subtle change, but it is potentially powerful, because it allows people to become much more specific with their requests. Users can still look for roles based on work on work such as Manager Product Manager, but Linkedin will also be able to understand more complex searches, such as “The role of business development in the video game industry”.
Linkedin will also identify indicators as an additional level of transparency when the company standing at this publication actively considers applications. Premium subscribers will also gain access to Coaching based on AI, with the possibility of practicing issues in an interview, filing and other tasks.
Nevertheless, tools with AI can only go so far. “The reality is that we have a market in which the number of applicants is growing faster than last year than the number of jobs compared to last year,” says Rajiv. And he knows that his requests that work hunters cease to apply for as many open roles as possible, not the advice that many people want to hear, although he stands next to it.
“The truth is that Tom is not your friend in a job search,” he says to Engadget. “This is only one additional application, but you multiply it by 500 people, and suddenly the poster has 500 new applicants for what they would need on the screen. It only exacerbates him. “
However, he thinks that LinkedIn can do even more to direct people to “right” roles. “You can imagine the possibilities of this: for us, to say:“ Hey, this work is probably not suitable, but, based on your skills, let me build a search that will help you find what you are looking for. ” And I think this is the future. “
