Hiring Assistant, LinkedIn’s first AI agent for recruiters, to launch globally in English

Hiring Assistant, LinkedIn’s first AI agent for recruiters, will be globally available in English by the end of September. 

First launched to charter customers last October, Hiring Assistant is the only AI agent for recruiters powered by the world’s most dynamic talent network. Today, it’s helping companies like Verizon, Mastercard, Chewy, SAP, Jacobs, Microsoft, Fabletics, Siemens, MediaNews Group, Aurecon, Insite, and Expedia Group find qualified talent faster and uncover new talent they never would have found before. 

And, it’s working: early adopters are saving 4+ hours per role, reviewing 62% fewer profiles, and seeing a 69% improvement in InMail acceptance rates.

• Hiring Assistant eliminates the hardest part of proactively finding candidates. Instead of spending an hour sourcing for one project, I can now source candidates for 5 or more projects in 10-15 minutes" - Vincent Mercandetti, Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, Siemens

• LinkedIn Hiring Assistant saves me the time I used to spend manually reviewing and refreshing searches. Now the tool does the updating, and I can focus on reviewing candidates as soon as I log in" - Kelsie Carbone, Manager, Talent Acquisition - Technology, Mastercard

• Hiring Assistant feels like working with a seasoned recruiter, while other AI recruiting tools feel like you’re training someone new who doesn’t quite understand what you need" — Dori Saad, Recruiting Manager, MediaNews Group

• LinkedIn’s Hiring Assistant isn’t just an AI tool — it’s a strategic partner and companion in our hiring process. It shows how AI can empower recruiters to do what they do best—connect the right people to the right opportunities" - Lucy McGhee, Talent Acquisition Lead, Aurecon

• LinkedIn gives us access to the entire professional talent market in a way no other platform can. Other tools might try to scrape data, but they can’t match the depth, reliability, or freshness of LinkedIn’s information. That’s why we trust LinkedIn’s Hiring Assistant to help us reach and engage the best candidates" - Joe West, Managing Director at Insite
