LinkedIn’s new AI search tool lets you describe your ideal job

LinkedIn is launching a new generative AI tool that allows users to find job listings by describing their perfect role. The platform’s updated AI-powered search bar now provides users with job posting results based on natural language descriptions, such as “find me entry-level brand manager roles in fashion,” and “jobs for analysts who love sustainability challenges.”

The idea is to provide greater flexibility for people hunting for a new job compared to the restrictive search filters for location, industry, and role already available on LinkedIn. Rather than manually checking each vacancy to see if it matches their skills and interests, users can instead specifically search for the ideal jobs that they qualify for.

”AI is changing the way we work, and job search on LinkedIn will completely change the way people find their next opportunity,” LinkedIn career expert Zara Easton said in the company’s press release. “Our hope is that this way of discovering roles — and even new careers — will bring together job seekers’ skills, interests, and aspirations to find their next step.”

The AI-powered search is available in English to all LinkedIn Premium subscribers starting today, and is expected to roll out for all members who have their language set to Global English by the end of the week.
