LinkedIn’s New AI Feature Will Help Jobseekers Edit Resume

LinkedIn seems to have jumped on the AI bandwagon, as it has started experimenting with AI-backed tools for job seekers. The company has now rolled out new AI features for its premium subscribers who are looking for jobs. The new features offer personalized resumes, AI-assisted cover letters, and more conversational job searches.

The new changes introduced by LinkedIn aim to streamline the more time-consuming aspects of looking for a new job. For instance, the updated job search feature will enable users to look for vacancies using search queries such as "find me an IT job that offers work from home and pays at least Rs 10,00,000 a year," or "find business development roles in marketing."

How Can Users Benefit From LinkedIn’s New AI Features

Once users find what they are looking for, the integrated assistant will provide them with feedback on their qualifications and assist with their application. They will be able to upload their current resume, and LinkedIn’s AI will provide them with suggestions on what to update based on their job description.

This could include recommendations on specific experiences to highlight or the option to rewrite entire sections of the document. Similarly, LinkedIn will be able to generate cover letters based on their experience and the job they are applying for.

Rohan Rajiv, a product manager at LinkedIn, explains that existing tools are meant to serve as an initial point for users instead of offering a complete solution. He emphasizes the goal of making it easier for people who find it hard to express themselves or start from square one when creating content.

LinkedIn To Fine Tune AI Features In The Future

While LinkedIn is still in the early stages of using AI, Rajiv suggests that in the coming days, more of the job application process could be automated. He believes, that in the future, tasks like crafting a resume will be handled without requiring a lot of input, possibly through an AI agent.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has fined LinkedIn India, Satya Nadella, and eight other individuals for violating beneficial owner norms under the Companies Act. Microsoft, led by Satya Nadella, took over the professional networking platform LinkedIn in December 2016. 

In a 63-page long order, the Registrar of Companies (NCT of Delhi & Haryana) stated that LinkedIn India and the individuals violated the Significant Beneficial Owner (SBO) norms under the Companies Act, 2013.
