LinkedIn’s AI may write messages to hiring managers: How will it help candidates – Times of India
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is spreading through the tech industry like wildfire. But, the technology in trend is like a double-edged sword. As AI-related scams rapidly increases, some tools are also helping people to reduce their workload. Just like several other tech companies, the business and employment-focused social media platform, LinkedIn has also started implementing AI in its services.
The Microsoft-owned service is reportedly experimenting with a new generative AI feature for job seekers. According to a report by Engadget, the company is testing a new feature that will generate brief, cover letter-like messages for candidates. LinkedIn users who are looking for a job can send these messages to managers who are using this platform to hire resources. The report claims that the feature has already started rolling out now for the site’s premium subscribers.
How will it help users?
Apart from showing available roles on the jobs page, LinkedIn will also offer users an option to “Let AI draft a message to the hiring team”. The company claims that this feature will extract “information from your profile, the hiring manager’s profile, the job description, and the company of interest” to create a “highly personalised” message.
The company has also provided an example where the message reportedly reads like the opening few sentences of a cover letter. As per the report, the AI-written messages users see may vary depending on the amount of information available on each user’s LinkedIn profile. However, LinkedIn has recommended users double-check and edit the text before sending it. The company noted, “customisation is still important”.
LinkedIn-owner Microsoft also backs ChatGPT creator OpenAI. So, the career-focused platform has already started experimenting with multiple other generative AI features. The platform has recently started offering AI writing suggestions for profiles. The “collaborative articles” on LinkedIn also use AI-written text.
