Confidently navigate your job search

When you’re considering a job change, the job search can be daunting. How do you find jobs that are relevant to your experience but interesting for what you want to do next?  How do you know if the job listing is real?  How do you know if you’re the right fit for the job?  LinkedIn is here to help. LinkedIn is reimagining the job search experience to provide actionable tools and insights  to help you confidently navigate your job search. LinkedIn can help you find jobs where you’ll stand out based on your unique work experience, skills, and interests. Learn more about the different tools and features that will help you discover what’s next.

AI-powered job search 

In the past, searching for jobs meant trying to express yourself within a predefined box — figuring out which keywords to use and working with a limited set of filters. Now, with AI-powered job search, you can simply describe the role you want in your own words, and discover jobs that match your unique skills, interests, and goals.

AI-powered job search deeply understands the details and context of both your search and job descriptions posted by hirers. It scans millions of listings in milliseconds to find the roles you're looking for — and even surfaces opportunities you might never have thought to search for.

Here's what you can search for today: 

• The kind of job you want (for example: Job title, function, experience level, employment type)
• Where you want to work (for example: Industry, location)
• What skills you want to use
• Ways to narrow your search (for example: Date posted, Easy Apply, applicant count, jobs in your network)

For example:

• "I am looking for entry-level sales jobs in healthcare” 
• “Fun jobs for a tech enthusiast who loves video games” 
• “I want to use my marketing skills to help cure cancer”

For the best results, focus your search on what you want in a job rather than what you don’t. The more specific or descriptive you can be the better.

Who is it available to: This feature is coming soon to Premium subscribers, followed by all LinkedIn members in the United States, India, Singapore, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. Over time, it will become available to a wider audience in more languages.

Job match 

Sifting through every single job description to figure out if it’s the right fit based on required and preferred qualifications is time-consuming, especially when you have to do it over and over again. Imagine if you could focus only on jobs that match your qualifications, making the tedious process much more efficient and less overwhelming.

Thankfully, our new job match feature empowers you to quickly understand how your skills and qualifications from your profile match any job posting in seconds. This helps you identify which roles you’re the best match for and where to focus your time and effort.

How it helps you

• Save time: Instantly see a summary at the top of every LinkedIn job post that shows how well your qualifications match the job requirements, which saves you from reading through every single job description and helps you focus on the most relevant opportunities. 
• Confident decisions: Access detailed insights that highlight how your profile matches with required and preferred qualifications, so you can decide whether to pursue a job, move on to better matches, or find areas for skill growth.
• Personalized insights: Leverage the personalized details from your job match summary to enhance your profile for future opportunities. Job match helps you identify skills and qualifications to add to your profile for better matches in the future. Even if you’re not actively looking, it can help prepare you for new job opportunities.

Your Profile

Your LinkedIn profile is more than a way to show who you are and what you’ve accomplished in your career – it’s a tool to help you stand out and bring more opportunities from hiring managers and recruiters. With a few simple steps like adding a profile photo, keeping your experience up-to-date, and including your skills, you’ll always be ready for your next opportunity.

How it helps you

• Update your experience: Your profile is up to 4x more likely to get viewed by recruiters if you have a current position. 
• Add skills to your experiences: You are up to 24x more likely to receive recruiter InMails if you have five or more skills.
• Share your photo: Members with a profile photo receive up to 2x more profile views, 3x more connection requests, and 3x as many messages.

Jobs post transparency 

We’re going to bring more transparency to the job search with more insights on the activity behind the scenes. This begins with the job post itself. We’re bringing a focus to verifications and hirer response/review times to make sure job seekers have more information on which companies are actively reviewing candidates, their typical review time, and if they're promoting a specific job. Our goal is to make it easy to see if the company is verified and how active the hirer is, so you can apply with confidence.

How it helps you

• Gain confidence in your job search by applying to jobs with increased transparency into job authenticity, hirer activity, and priority, ensuring you apply to opportunities you trust.
• Prioritize your job applications with insights into which jobs are a priority for hirers and which companies respond quickly, helping you focus on the most promising opportunities.
• Increase your chances of hearing back by applying to jobs with responsive insights, where you know hirers are actively reviewing and responding to applications.
