As we approach 2025, nearly 60% of people globally are contemplating a job change, with many feeling increased competition in their job search. Common challenges faced by job seekers include discovering suitable jobs, assessing skill fit, and receiving feedback on applications. To address these issues, LinkedIn is enhancing its platform, starting with a new job match feature aimed at improving the Assess and Apply phase of the job search.
The job match feature allows users to quickly see how well their qualifications align with job requirements. Job seekers will receive a comprehensive match summary that highlights their fit for each job. Premium subscribers will benefit from competitive insights, receiving a categorical rating of their match level and guidance to enhance their resumes and cover letters. This AI-powered tool is informed by insights from millions of job postings and professionals, providing transparency into how applications are perceived by recruiters.
The job match feature will be rolled out globally in English, with plans for additional languages. LinkedIn encourages user feedback to continuously improve the product. Additionally, insights from recruiters emphasize the importance of role relevance and the need for job seekers to apply strategically rather than broadly, focusing on positions that align closely with their skills.
