Recently, LinkedIn announced the launch of a new feature called 'Hiring Assistant', aimed at using AI technology to help recruiters more easily find suitable candidates. This hiring assistant can intelligently recommend qualified candidates based on the recruiter's job description or prompts. Harry Srinivasan, Vice President of Product for LinkedIn Talent Solutions, stated in a media interview that many recruiters struggle with writing emails, sending messages, and pasting job descriptions across different platforms.

The 2024 annual work trends report released by Microsoft and LinkedIn shows that employers' preferences are shifting towards candidates with AI skills rather than those with extensive industry experience. 71% of corporate executives are inclined to hire job seekers with AI capabilities, but only 25% of companies plan to offer AI training, leading to 75% of knowledge workers learning AI tools on their own. With work pressure intensifying, 46% of employees consider resigning, and 45% worry that AI will replace their jobs. AI is reshaping the workplace, requiring professionals to actively learn and adapt.

An AI job seeking tool named LinkedIn_AIHawk has emerged in the competitive job market. This open-source tool claims to automatically apply for 1000 job positions within 24 hours and secure 50 interview opportunities with high efficiency. AIHawk is multifunctional, automatically scanning and submitting job applications that match the user's criteria while utilizing large language models to generate personalized resumes and answer employer questions. It manages personal information through YAML files to ensure data security and integrates with the OpenAI API.

LinkedIn has recently introduced a series of new AI features designed to help users more easily search for jobs, customize resumes, and even receive advice from an AI chatbot. These new features will be initially available to premium subscribers who use English globally.

In 2024, LinkedIn COO Dan Shapero believes that artificial intelligence will significantly enhance our daily lives. LinkedIn will focus on integrating AI with job searching to help users leverage AI more effectively in their job-seeking activities. Shapero emphasizes the importance of employee well-being and stability in light of global conflicts and talent loss among companies. AI will be a key driver of future innovation and convenience in life, but it requires responsible, ethical, and fair application.
