Newscenter Media News Professional social media site, Linkedin, has introduced Hiring Assistant, its first AI agent, to automate recruiters’ tedious activities.
Hari Srinivasan, vice president of products at LinkedIn Talent Solutions, said in a statement on Friday that the company is launching an AI-powered digital helper called the “Hiring Assistant,” to perform crucial hiring tasks.
LinkedIn claimed that a “select group” of clients, including well-known companies like AMD, Canva, Siemens, and Zurich Insurance, are presently using the AI helper.
By simplifying duties and lowering administrative hassles, LinkedIn’s AI agent—which was developed using insights from over 1 billion people, 68 million companies, and 41,000 skills—is expected to relieve recruiters’ workloads.
“The idea is, as the hiring assistant works with the recruiter … it learns from its interactions with the recruiter,” Erran Berger, the company’s lead product engineer, said. He called the feature “experiential memory.”
According to the company, the platform would include screening questions, enable hiring managers to send out mass personalized communications and gather user preferences through feedback.
“It’s designed to take on a recruiter’s most repetitive task so they can spend more time on the most impactful part of their jobs,” Hari Srinivasan, LinkedIn’s VP of product, said in an interview — “a big statement,” Berger admitted.
