Last updated: 1 month ago

Who can use this feature?

Hiring Assistant is currently available to a subset of LinkedIn Recruiter customers whose language setting is English, and you might not have access to it at this time. You can learn more about Hiring Assistant here.

You can simplify your candidate sourcing in LinkedIn Recruiter by creating a project with Hiring Assistant directly through a chat experience on your Hiring Assistant dashboard.

Start by sharing details about the role you’re hiring for, and Hiring Assistant will help you refine your hiring criteria before beginning the candidate sourcing process. During the chat, Hiring Assistant will offer suggestions to enhance candidate quality, allowing you to accept or decline changes before finalizing your project. To ensure alignment with your hiring strategy, Hiring Assistant will conduct a calibration by presenting you with an initial batch of profiles for review.

To create a project with Hiring Assistant through chat:

  1. Click the Hiring Assistant icon at the top of your Recruiter homepage, next to your profile picture, to open the Hiring Assistant dashboard.

  2. Click Start a new chat to open the chat experience.

  3. In the chat box, describe the role you’re hiring for. You can include preferred qualifications, workplace location, a job description, an active LinkedIn job post, or any other relevant details.

    • Hiring Assistant will begin to draft your project details and will prompt you for more information if needed.

  4. Review the recommendations and revisions Hiring Assistant suggests. Click Approve selected for the recommendations you want to accept.

    • Hiring Assistant may provide more recommendations until it has enough information.

  5. Optional: In the Your latest hiring requirements: section on the right, you can edit your role details and qualifications. Click Apply edits to save your changes.

  6. Click Sample candidates now to calibrate Hiring Assistant for your project. Hiring Assistant will provide you with a few candidate profiles to review.

    • To skip calibration and finalize your project, click Skip calibration and begin sourcing. Hiring Assistant will notify you on your homepage when candidates are ready for your review.

  7. Review the candidates and click the Good fit or Not a fit button for each candidate. Click View full profile to open a candidate’s profile on the right pane. Once Hiring Assistant completes the calibration, it will ask you to finalize the hiring requirements.

    • If you click Good fit, Hiring Assistant will add the candidate to your pipeline.
    • If you click Not a fit, Hiring Assistant will archive the candidate and ask for feedback on why the candidate wasn’t a fit. Hiring Assistant may provide you with more recommendations to modify the project, and then provide you with more candidates to review.

    Here's a tip

    You can ask questions about the candidate such as their experience, education, location, and how they fit the role.

  8. Click Finalize the hiring requirements to finalize your project, or click Continue reviewing more candidates to review more candidate profiles.

  9. Click the title of the project in the chat or click View candidates in Pipeline to open the project.

Hiring Assistant will begin sourcing candidates based on your project details and will notify you on your Recruiter homepage when candidates are ready for review on your project’s Pipeline page. You can also visit your project to create a job post.
