A LinkedIn test uses AI to create job descriptions and profiles

AI-based job descriptions are being tested by LinkedIn, Microsoft's professional networking service.

The features are built on top of "the most advanced OpenAI GPT models", which powers Microsoft's Bing AI and ChatGPT. LinkedIn premium members will now be able to use AI to generate attractive job descriptions that entice potential recruits.

It's easy for job posters now, they need to provide "starter information" like job title, responsibilities, location, etc and with a simple press of a button, the AI will generate a detailed draft description that can be edited as needed. To generate these descriptions, Microsoft uses data willingly shared by customers, which the AI formats and modifies to fit each description.

The trails are going in limited number of job posters in the "United States, India, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia". Microsoft says it plans to roll out the feature globally later this year.

AI-based writing suggestions are aimed at people who have trouble creating an enticing profile for recruiters. The AI can take basic information from their text and automatically highlight skills and experiences in the About and Headline sections.

Writing suggestions will be available to select premium members that the company will test the feature with. Microsoft plans to roll this out for all paying subscribers eventually.
