LinkedIn’s expanding access to its AI-generated job summaries option for recruiters, which helps prospective employers ensure that the relevant key terms and skills are noted in your job ads, better aligning them with LinkedIn’s recommendation systems.
The option has been available in some regions for a while, while LinkedIn has also been developing its listings within its Recruiter platform to improve their accuracy.
And now, more LinkedIn Company Page managers in more regions will be able to use its AI assistance for their job listings.
As explained by LinkedIn, its AI-generated job summaries are currently available “for a subset of LinkedIn members using LinkedIn job posts in the U.S., India, U.K., Canada, and Australia.”
Originally, the option was only available in the U.S. and Canada, but now, more regions are gaining access, providing expanded AI assistance in the job listing process.
And the expansion into India is significant, because India is now LinkedIn’s third-biggest user market, behind the U.S. and Europe.
The platform has seen rapid growth in India, and as such, it’s now becoming a bigger focus for the platform, as it builds new tools and innovations.
Which, for LinkedIn, at least for the moment, means more and more AI-powered options.
“AI-assisted job descriptions make it easier for hiring managers to create high-quality job descriptions quickly. Using this feature helps you spend less time creating your job description from scratch and more time on other aspects of hiring.”
LinkedIn says that the process leverages data and skills insights from across the platform to create draft more resonant job descriptions.
“The inputs used are job title, job location, company, workplace type, and job type that are provided to us when you start your job post.”
LinkedIn says that these AI-generated summaries will help employers come up with better outlines for the position that they’re hiring for, though they won’t necessarily be better than human-created overviews.
“Using AI-assisted job descriptions does not mean the draft job description will be better for your role than if you write your own. We hope to help hiring managers save time writing and editing their job descriptions and use a skills-based approach to help draft a job description for you. While we try to ensure quality, mistakes can sometimes happen and job descriptions will not contain all required information. You’ll still need to review the job description to make sure it is right for your role and make any edits before posting.”
So it’s an assistive tool, not a replacement for actual human insight and expertise. But it could be a handy way to ensure that your LinkedIn job postings align with the right elements to get your role in front of the right people in the app.
And now, it’s available to more users.
It could be worth trying out when you go to list a new position to see how LinkedIn identifies the skills required for your workplace.
