LinkedIn tests a new tool for searching for vacancies that uses an adapted large language model to go through huge amounts of data to help people find potential roles.
The company believes that artificial intelligence will help users that they have missed in the typical search process will help to detect.
“The reality is that you do not find your dream job by checking a series of keywords,” said the CEO of the company, Ryan Roslansky, Wired in a statement. The new tool, he says, “can help you find relevant jobs that you never managed to look for.”
The move comes if AI continues to change how people use the web. On 2 February, OpenAi announced a tool with the name Deep Research used to perform in -depth web research for a user. Google offers a similar tool (with exactly the same name, actually). These tools can be used, among other things, to automate the process of searching various websites for vacancies.
LinkedIn gave Wired a preview of the tool, which is currently being tested by a small group of users. Job seekers can fill in questions as “find me a role where I can use marketing skills to help the environment” or “Show jobs in marketing that pay more than $ 100k.”
LinkedIn developed his own large language model, or “LLM” – the type of AI that chatgpt – to comb his data through and to pars searches. A regular search can only put openings on the basis of their function; The new tool can identify those based on a deeper analysis of the job description, information about the company and its colleagues and messages from the entire site. It can also show job seekers what new skills they need to strive to get a certain role. “We really use LLMS throughout the pile of our search and recommendation system, entirely from the insight into Query to collect ranking,” says Rohan Rajiv, a director of product at LinkedIn.
Although LLMS can be a powerful tool for a company such as LinkedIn, the use of AI in recruitment has sometimes been problematic because of prejudices lurking in the models used to amount to applicants. Suzi Owen, a spokesperson for LinkedIn, says that the company has implemented security measures to watch against potential prejudices. “This includes tackling criteria that unintentionally can exclude certain candidates or bias in the algorithms that can influence how qualifications are assessed,” she says.
Wenjing Zhang, a vice -president engineering at LinkedIn, says that the new AI stack of the company can be used for more than just job hunting. For example, it can produce labor insights by identifying that companies are increasingly using skills in job descriptions, or what new employees talk about in their messages.
I don't know if I would trust a chatbot to offer career advice, but perhaps one that is rating on the data of LinkedIn.
