Job posts mentioning AI or generative AI have more than doubled globally in the last two years, with LinkedIn’s ‘Global Talent Trends Report’ finding that applications for these posts have grown 17% faster compared to those that don’t mention AI or generative AI. LinkedIn’s research finds that 89% of professionals globally are excited to use AI at work, and more than half (57%) want to learn more about it.

In response, LinkedIn is rolling out new generative AI tools, including Recruiter 2024. According to the professional networking firm, its new AI-assisted recruiting experience makes hiring more efficient and easy, so talent leaders can focus on strategic, people-centric work. 

A version of Recruiter 2024 is being tested with a small handful of LinkedIn’s Recruiter customers, with plans to roll it out globally later this year.

Olivier Sabella, vice president, EMEA & LATAM, LinkedIn Talent Solutions, says: “AI is ushering in a new world of work, and the technology is already reshaping jobs, businesses and industries. Everyone from customer service representatives and sales professionals to teachers, will be able to use the technology to remove some of the drudgery of everyday tasks so they can focus on valuable people-centric work.”

LinkedIn is also testing out real-time advice in two of most in-demand skills that apply across all types of jobs: leadership and management. LinkedIn Learning’s AI-powered coaching will be available to a handful of customers from yesterday [3 October], with plans to roll out globally to LinkedIn Learning Hub customers throughout the year.
