LinkedIn has announced the update called spotlights, a new feature that is going to be incorporated into Recruiter, the platform's star personnel selection tool. Using the benefits of artificial intelligence, Spotlights will allow recruiters reduce your search time, highlighting candidates who are most likely to fit the position.
Thanks to the Artificial intelligence, This new update prioritizes candidates based on knowledge including, for example, what types of jobs they are looking for and whether they are willing to be contacted by recruiters. This tool groups users into three different groups (Spotlights):
Open candidates: First, candidates who have shared your work interests and are open to new opportunities will be placed. A recent LinkedIn study reveals that users who have the »Job Interest» signal activated in their profiles are twice as likely to respond to an InMail message than other professionals.
Former candidates: The second group includes users who have started to fill out, but have not yet completed, a work application. This audience is usually still interested in the position and has four times more chance to reply to an InMail message.
Likely to respond / Related to your Talent Brand: The last group includes candidates who interact on the platform and have Career pages, company posts or updates, and filters among those who usually respond to InMail messages from selection technicians. This offers significant time savings, as when recruiters use this new feature, they will receive 64% more responses to the InMail messages they send.
We recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of LinkedIn, surpassing 10 million users in Spain, a figure that represents more than half of the employed professionals in Spain (18.54 million active people according to the latest data from the Ministry of Employment and Social Security ). »With this wide spectrum of candidates, it is essential that recruiters use artificial intelligence to obtain more effective results and to be able to work faster and smarter,» he says. Raul Suarez, Head of Corporate Business Development at LinkedIn Spain.
»The new Spotlights update will allow Human Resources departments to save time and will be able to focus on creating the right relationships with the people who best fit the position,” concludes Suárez.
New updates to simplify your job search
In addition to the Spotlights update, LinkedIn will also be adding two new features: 'How You Match' and 'One-Click Apply'.
The first of them will make it easier for candidates to know to what extent their profile fits the job they want to apply for. In this way, candidates will be able to quickly and easily assess whether they are suitable for a position, and this will lead to an increase in the quality of applications that the position will receive.
For its part, 'One-Click Apply' will help recruiters analyze job applicants for a job more quickly, and without having to enter a profile. Thanks to checklists, the criteria that match the skills marked as essential for the application will be displayed, which will not need to be established by the recruiter, but will automatically be extracted from the job description.
