Explore what’s possible.
Discover powerful new innovations.
Stay top of mind with talent.
With Interested Candidate Alerts, candidates who have expressed interest in your organization will automatically be served with your company's content and alerted about your relevant open roles – with no action needed from you.
AI-Assisted Search is getting even smarter. Instead of matching results based on text or filters, it now understands the meaning and context behind your inputs, based on billions of LinkedIn data points, delivering you even more qualified candidates. Plus, you can paste a job description and hiring manager notes or ask to create a Boolean string to start your search.
From quickly drafting unique, personalized messages in bulk to touching up your existing templates, new AI-assisted messaging enhancements are designed to help you save time and increase candidate engagement, at scale.
AI-Assisted Messages see a 44% higher acceptance rate and are accepted over 11% faster by job seekers compared to non-AI messages.

AI-Assisted Search sessions saw an overall +18% higher InMail acceptance rate when compared to search sessions with manual filters.

Rediscover top candidates.
Give your teams a jumpstart on their recruiting with an instant list of previous top contenders. Now when you post a job, we'll automatically resurface relevant candidates that are past applicants or have been previously sourced.
With enhancements and AI-powered tools coming to the LinkedIn job seeker experience, candidates can find your relevant roles faster than ever and confidently assess if they’re a good match for the job.
This is just the beginning of what AI can do for recruiters. Take a sneak peek at Hiring Assistant — our first AI agent for Recruiter and Jobs that helps take on time-consuming tasks on your behalf.
