- LinkedIn AI Search Lets You Describe the Person You Want to Find
- Premium users in the US get it first – expanding globally 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.”
Previously, searches on LinkedIn required users to enter exact job titles or use complex filters, which meant that many matches simply went wrong.
LinkedIn makes search more powerful… with AI, of course
Early tests already show that users are trying AI to find job opportunities, business opportunities, and career support, and overall the change isn’t a big surprise.
Search functions on other websites, including internet giant 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 problem. AI People Search is rolling out first to Premium users in the US, with a global expansion planned for “the coming months.”
“If you didn’t know the right combination, you didn’t find the right person,” explained Senior Director of Product Management Rohan Rajiv. TechCrunch. “The new AI-powered people search is designed to be the fastest path to the person who can help you most.”
The feature works by displaying results sorted by 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 experience, at the right time, turning connections into actionable opportunities,” LinkedIn wrote in a blog post.
