Hiring great talent starts with the right tools, and those tools are getting even better. We’re introducing new updates in this wave (launching now through October 2025) to help you connect with top talent more efficiently and streamline your hiring process.

Here’s a look at what’s coming over the next few months.

Find more qualified candidates with a smarter, improved AI-Assisted Search

Spend less time filtering and more time finding the right candidates with AI-Assisted Search. Our improved Search experience goes beyond job titles and keywords to understand what you’re really looking for. It matches based on relevant qualifications and skills, even those hard-to-define skills not listed on a profile. Simply drop in an existing job description and let Search do the rest. It will surface candidates who are a strong fit, even if they use different keywords!

You’ll also be able to see a new summary section at the top of each candidate profile that quickly shows what qualifications they meet and where there may be gaps. This at-a-glance view will help you decide faster if someone is right for the job without having to scroll through their whole profile.

Get more visibility for your job postings

Reach candidates who better match your needs thanks to AI-Powered Job Search. Job seekers will be able to search using their own words, not just keywords, to find roles that align with their goals, whether that’s a marketing job focused on combatting climate change or one that meets a specific salary range.

This means your jobs are more likely to show up for the right people, even if they’re not using the exact same language you are. 

Bring your brand story to life faster

Did you know members who engage with your brand’s Life tab are 3.4x more likely to become a new hire? High-quality, engaging content makes a real difference, but creating it doesn’t have to be time-consuming.

Now with AI-Assisted Content Generation, you can create compelling Life tab content in less time, using your existing employer brand materials. Whether it’s showcasing your culture, values, or employee stories, AI can help you bring it to life faster, so you can focus on what matters most: attracting the right talent.
