LinkedIn is introducing its own AI agent that will act as a recruiter’s assistant. The new Hiring Assistant will take over routine tasks so recruiters can focus on personal contact with candidates.
With the new AI agent “Hiring assistant,” LinkedIn aims to eliminate routine tasks from recruiters so they can focus on the core of their job: contacting potential candidates. Among other things, the AI agent can list qualified candidates, prepare interviews and take meeting notes. This is not the first time LinkedIn has come knocking with an AI tool for recruiters. The professional platform already introduced several AI tools to, for example, help users search for a job or expand their network.
AI agent for recruiters
The new Hiring Assistant will be able to take over many of the recruiter’s tasks. For example, based on your hiring goals, the AI agent will automatically pull a list of qualified candidates, manage administration, schedule interviews and take meeting notes. With this, LinkedIn wants to ensure that recruiters can focus on the personal aspect of the job, namely contacting candidates, rather than the logistical part.

“We’re really focused on making Hiring Assistant great,” Erran Berger, VP of engineering, said in an interview with TechCrunch. “This is all bleeding edge, and I mean everything from the experience and how our users interact with it, to the technology that supports it. And so we’re really focused on establishing that a lot of the technology that we’ve built is applicable to problems that we’re trying to solve for our members and customers. But right now we really want to pin this down, and then we can figure out where we go from there.”
LinkedIn additionally shared that the AI assistant is currently live with a “select group” of customers. The plan is to roll out the assistant broadly in the coming months. Companies can sign up via LinkedIn to receive new updates on the Hiring Assistant.
