Social media giant LinkedIn is rolling out new features for those looking for jobs and we’ve got the latest updates for you.
The company spoke about how it has been working hard to create innovative options so that those in search of jobs can benefit more on this front. But it would not be wrong to mention that the tech giant has been facing a lot of criticism along the way for doing so.
This is because experts deem the behavior to be counter-productive and even highlighted how employers would want to see a job seeker in person to better gauge their communication skills on this front. This would be in great opposition to having a message generated by a robot about their respective capabilities. But the way technology continues to expand as we speak, it’s no surprise how things are going in a new direction altogether so why should LinkedIn not make the most of the trend, right?
For starters, the company just rolled out its ‘Job Collections’ feature that would categorize all sorts of open roles into various sectors and settings. As can be witnessed in such an example, Job Collections will open up a greater list of roles for various sectors and business domains. So those wishing to find the right job would do so, depending on all the parameters involved.
LinkedIn rolled out a post on this front. It spoke about how Job Collections was designed to enable an expansion for relevant positions throughout different sectors that many users may have never been aware of from the start. All users are required to do is visit the Jobs tab across the app. They will then search for Explore with Job Collections and press on any collections that align with their requirements like those offering remote roles, good leave, and sustainability-driven features.
We can see how this tool is so handy and can be considered to be the best in terms of filtering out content that assists in streamlining job searches depending on a wide array of additional parameters.
The company is also rolling out a new filter tool called Job Preferences. This will enable users to design certain parameters that they are most engaged in. Employers will see those preferences while the app will highlight the specific stats on each job position shown across the platform.
The parameters would be in green which is another wonderful means to search for relevant options through the app. Current preference options will entail type of employment, type of location, and a minimal payment option for those residing in the US.
The social networking platform added how it hopes to include a host of other options on this front with time so people can look for jobs easily that have features well-aligned to their personal needs.
Another new feature includes flagging interest in a particular firm through a job ad.
This is clearly nothing new and even users can do that right now by clicking on the desirable firm’s business profile. But seeing the button up for grabs on each job will certainly be more attractive and useful and also readily accessible.
Last but not least, the company is experimenting with job seeker tools if you have a Premium connection. This will entail the most advanced job filters that highlight relevant job matches and new AI-powered LinkedIn Premium experiences as well. This way, users can best test to see if a certain position fits them well or not. You can even roll out intro messages on this front
An example of this was provided when the app showed how Premium users could draft job applications and new emails through the world of Generative AI. Therefore, it does appear a little counter-productive when you take the whole job search process into consideration.
In case you might be wondering, you can do this in ChatGPT as it is. So why not simply combine this directly, right?
Nevertheless, the offerings by LinkedIn certainly seem to be super interesting and useful for those in the professional world. It’s a new year and we’re sure a lot of users are on the rise to seek better positions or careers, especially during the start of 2024. So we can see where the app is coming from.
