LinkedIn has introduced two new AI tools aimed at enhancing the job application experience for its 1 billion users. The Jobs Match tool provides real-time insights on job openings, while a recruitment AI agent is designed for small businesses to streamline their hiring process. Both tools are free, marking a shift from LinkedIn's previous focus on premium services. The initiative comes as the platform faces scrutiny over its user engagement in job seeking, especially given the high volume of applications per job posting. This move could increase activity on the platform amidst a challenging job market.
