LinkedIn introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Hiring Assistant, on Tuesday.
LinkedIn Hiring Assistant, an AI agent, is the first on the platform designed to automate various aspects of the hiring process, making it more efficient for recruiters and hiring professionals.
The Hiring Assistant is being initially rolled out to select enterprise clients, with plans for broader availability in the future. This tool streamlines the recruitment process by assembling a list of qualified candidates, initiating contact with tailored information, and responding to common inquiries from candidates.
LinkedIn’s Hiring Assistant significantly enhances recruitment efficiency by handling the manual tasks that consume much of a recruiter’s day. It aids in sourcing suitable candidates, selecting top prospects, drafting outreach emails, and maintaining engagement within the hiring funnel.
Beyond mere task management, the Hiring Assistant also offers proactive support. It provides updates and data-driven recommendations to facilitate smoother recruitment progress.
Designed to allow recruiters to concentrate on strategic activities like advising hiring managers and fostering candidate relationships, the Hiring Assistant aims to create a seamless experience for all involved in the hiring process. It is currently accessible to companies such as AMD, Canva, Siemens, and Zurich Insurance, with future expansions planned.
This tool will be available to paid enterprise LinkedIn users who also utilize LinkedIn Recruiter, the company’s comprehensive recruitment tool suite.
