LinkedIn has introduced “Hiring Assistant,” an AI-driven recruitment tool designed to streamline hiring by handling many routine recruiter tasks.
The tool can turn brief notes into comprehensive job descriptions, source qualified candidates, and initiate engagement, ultimately allowing recruiters to prioritize high-impact activities.
Initially available to select customers such as AMD, Siemens, Canva, and Zurich Insurance, LinkedIn plans a broader rollout in the coming months.
Hiring Assistant is LinkedIn’s first full AI agent, aiming to support recruiters across multiple stages of the hiring process. The tool integrates with third-party application tracking systems and draws on LinkedIn’s extensive data, which includes one billion users, 68 million companies, and 41,000 distinct skills.

It can automatically generate candidate lists by identifying qualifications and assessing relevant skills rather than emphasizing traditional indicators like education or location. Additional features, including messaging and interview scheduling, will roll out soon, enhancing its ability to handle pre-interview and follow-up communications.
This launch is part of LinkedIn’s broader AI initiative, underpinned by its collaboration with Microsoft and OpenAI. The company has previously released AI features, such as candidate sorters, learning coaches, and profile improvement tools, all using OpenAI’s GPT technology.
