- LinkedIn AI Search allows you to describe the person you want to find
- US Premium users get it first – global expansion coming soon
- Traditional search criticized for being ineffective
LinkedIn is adding even more AI tools to the platform to help users find suitable matches in its search box.
With the change, LinkedIn users will be able to search for terms like “healthcare investors with FDA experience” or “who in my network can help me understand wireless networks.”
Before, searches on LinkedIn required users to enter the exact job titles or use complex filtering – meaning many matches simply went wrong.
LinkedIn makes search more powerful… with AI, of course
Early testing already shows that users are trying AI to find job leads, business opportunities and career support, and overall the change doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
Search features on other sites, including Internet behemoth Google, already use AI to improve results, so LinkedIn would have missed out if it hadn’t added AI sooner or later.
But there is a catch. AI People Seeking is rolling out to Premium users in the US first, with a global expansion planned for “the coming months.”
“If you didn’t know the right combination, the right person remained undiscovered,” Product Management Senior Director Rohan Rajiv explained to TechCrunch. “The new AI-powered Paging is designed to be the fastest route to the person who can help you the most.”
The feature works by displaying results that are ordered based on connections and relevance to the search query, in an effort to show the most valuable people first. “Now, instead of static results, LinkedIn shows people with the right expertise at the right time, turning connections into actionable opportunities,” LinkedIn wrote in a blog post.
