LinkedIn Launches Advanced AI-Driven Tools for Businesses


According to the latest Global Talent Trends report by LinkedIn, job listings citing AI or Generative AI (GAI) have surged 2.2 times worldwide in the past two years. Moreover, these AI-mentioning posts see applications grow 17% faster than those that don’t.

During LinkedIn’s 12th annual Talent Connect Summit, CEO Ryan Roslansky shed light on AI’s role in enhancing productivity. He highlighted the power of AI in relieving workers from mundane tasks, thereby allotting more time for essential human-centric and strategic roles.

Understanding this transformative shift, LinkedIn has rolled out an array of AI-centric tools to optimize recruiting, marketing, and sales functions. These tools might be a game-changer for small business owners seeking to streamline their operations and drive growth. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:

1. Recruiter 2024: The future of hiring could be upon us. LinkedIn is harnessing the might of AI and its proprietary insights to redefine recruitment. Recruiter 2024 promises a more efficient process by helping employers identify apt candidates at an accelerated rate.

2. LinkedIn Learning with AI-Infused Coaching: Investing in employee growth is paramount for any business, small or large. The new AI-powered coaching on LinkedIn Learning provides a chatbot experience, delivering real-time advice and curated content suggestions tailored for every individual user.

3. Accelerate for Campaign Manager: Marketing in the B2B space can be intricate. Accelerate leverages AI to offer campaign recommendations and automatic optimization strategies, aiming to captivate the ideal B2B audience. While the tool offers suggestions, the power remains in the marketer’s hands to tweak and launch campaigns as seen fit.

Additionally, the previous week witnessed the unveiling of AI-enhanced features for LinkedIn’s sales portfolio:

Sales Navigator: Aiming to bolster relationship-building in sales, new AI capabilities, including AI-assisted search and AccountIQ, have been integrated. These tools are designed to refine lead prospecting and account research, allowing sales professionals to focus more on fostering connections with potential clients.
