LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corporation
What Happened: LinkedIn is currently testing “responsiveness insights” on select job postings, with plans to expand this feature across the platform, reported Bloomberg on Sunday.
The platform is also improving its AI-powered “job match” feature. It assesses how well a candidate fits a job listing. The goal is to reduce application overload by guiding users toward roles where they have a better chance of getting a response.
Indeed is upgrading its “responsive employer” badges, which have been in place since 2018. The platform now offers more detailed insights, such as median response times, to assist job seekers in identifying companies that are more likely to respond.
Greenhouse is experimenting with a badge system to verify employers’ commitment to respectful and communicative hiring practices.
These badges aim to reward companies that uphold high standards in their recruitment processes.
These developments come as job seekers face increasing challenges in the labor market, with many experiencing long-term unemployment.
The new tools are designed to improve transparency and efficiency in the hiring process, benefiting both applicants and employers.
Why It Matters:
Last year, more than 14 million job seekers’ applications were entirely ignored in just one quarter, the report noted, citing one hiring platform.
