If you’re not tuned into #TalentConnect…you’re missing out 👀 It’s been so great to spend time with talent leaders discussing how jobs, skills and businesses are changing. AI has a hand in this, but it’s not the whole story. Hiring is down 30% globally, but applications per applicant are up 30%, compared to pre-pandemic levels. AI has created nearly 2 million new jobs globally in just over three years (!), and the skills employers are looking for are changing twice as fast as the skills U.S. workers are adding to their profiles. (Add your AI skills to your profile folks!) Recruiters are feeling it! They’re at the center, making sure their companies have the skills and teams needed for what’s next. We’re excited to introduce Hiring Assistant 2 to help recruiters spend less time on the mechanics of hiring and more time on the decisions that need their judgement. There’s a lot more to come from #TalentConnect. Join the livestream now: https://lnkd.in/da7AVYP4

Still buzzing from the Forbes CMO Summit last week! We talked a lot about AI, creators and where marketing is headed. But honestly, my favourite part was how real the conversations were. No one has all the answers right now. Being a CMO now is wild! And I think the best leaders are comfortable saying that. They’re honest about what they know, what they don’t, and what they’re still figuring out.... winning AND struggling with AI, handling geopolitical waves, higher growth targets and more. I loved getting into some of that with Musa Tariq and Carly Gomez as we talked about what it really means to be a CMO today, and how we can help support the next gen of marketing leaders. (My hawt take: get out of marketing for a while. Go do Sales or Product or BD... learn the economics of the business from another chair. It will make you a better marketer.) Huge thanks to CEO Sherry Phillips and Linda Boff, the new magical leader of this CMO group, for creating a room with so much honesty, generosity and openness. ❤️

Americans’ anger with fraud in the job search is reaching a fever pitch. Now, LinkedIn is rolling out new tools to help users figure out what is real—and avoid handing over money or their résumés to scammers. The new levers, which the company plans to release this month, focus on verification, a system through which users can submit government identification and their professional email addresses. In turn, their profiles display a check mark, giving it a sign of authenticity. The company says it stops tens of millions of fake members who could scam users by posing as recruiters. Still, some slip through the cracks. The LinkedIn update fills a hole that scammers have used to wrest job seekers’ data and sometimes their cash. Some scammers list themselves as employees of companies where they have never worked. A desperate job seeker might not fact-check that affiliation and, thrilled to be contacted by the purported recruiter, send over her résumé or pay for consulting services to improve her chances at getting a job. 🔗 Read more: https://on.wsj.com/4rvnBdm

Authenticity is quickly becoming one of the most valuable currencies on the internet and knowing what’s real and who you can trust matters more than ever. That’s why I’m SO excited about where we’re taking verification at LinkedIn. More than 115 million members are now verified, and we’re building new ways to make that trust more human and useful. Now people who have actually worked or studied alongside you can help verify those shared experiences. Our professional stories aren’t built in isolation and the people who were there are part of what makes those stories credible! We’re also helping companies better protect the brands they’ve worked so hard to build by making it harder for bad actors to falsely claim they work there. More from Oscar Rodriguez on where verification is headed next: https://lnkd.in/dPHRt2c6.

Business moves fast and your relationships need to keep up!  🚀 Someone gets promoted. A new decision-maker joins. Your champion takes a new role. And suddenly the account you thought you knew looks pretty different. So we are bringing Sales Navigator into Microsoft Teams. Instead of asking people to go looking for what changed, the changes come to them, right where they’re already working. NICE! The best sales teams aren’t working from last quarter’s picture of a customer. They’re up on what’s happening right now. #ItWorksWhereYouWork

Women enter the workforce at nearly the same rate as men. Yet by the time C-suite leadership opportunities emerge, that representation is cut in half. ALERT!! New data from LinkedIn's Economic Graph in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report shows women hold 46% of entry-level roles across 57 economies, but only 23% of C-suite positions. After a decade of limited gains, progress in women’s leadership has now stalled for four consecutive years. And it's not only showing up in leadership pipelines. LinkedIn members identifying as founders have more than tripled since 2022, yet women’s share remains stuck at just 28%, and those female founders are less likely to have AI skills than their male counterparts. To me, this challenge isn’t about a lack of ambition or talent. It's a signal that too many of the systems that shape who advances, who leads, and who gets to build companies are broken.  WE MUST FIX THIS!!! The good news? We know what DOES work. Focusing on coaching and skills development, sponsoring high-performing women, and ensuring accountability exists at senior levels is critical to bringing more women into the equation.

If Gen Z doesn’t trust you, they won’t buy from you! Gen Z is joining the group that is driving B2B buying decisions, from AI tools to CRM platforms and more. Yet a generation that’s grown up constantly connected online often feels disconnected professionally. Our latest research found that 72% of Gen Z feel stuck on the sidelines of their professional communities. When professional connection feels out of reach, people look for voices they can trust. In fact, 86% of B2B marketers say Gen Z and millennial buyers trust peer recommendations and expert voices MORE than branded marketing. We’re seeing this play out on LinkedIn through creators like Natalie (Corporate Natalie), Avni Barman and Chris Do, who are helping people learn and make more informed decisions every day. Check out the full research. I’d love to hear from you, how are you building trust with the next generation of buyers? https://lnkd.in/g6dWMV9a

One more follow up on AI Slop. -First, thank you. Over a million people have now clicked ‘seems like AI slop,’ since we launched it two weeks ago...helping us better understand how our community experiences low-quality content. As a reminder, you can send this feedback in the three dot menu on any post & comment -This week, we're taking another step. If a post receives enough community feedback, you may see a message in your Post Analytics to help you understand how your content is being received. We approached this assuming good intent; I know I'm increasingly conscious on how to not sound like AI & the goal is to provide helpful feedback. -Importantly, no single piece of feedback determines how content is distributed.  We look at many signals together, and we've built safeguards to help prevent individual feedback from being used to unfairly target other members. I hesitate to give numbers, as everyone has a different network and feed, but overall members are now experiencing 40% less views on what we classify as AI slop from just a few weeks ago. Despite the progress, we know we have more to do to ensure LinkedIn remains a place where you can find real people & real perspectives... this all remains very top of mind.

AI is creating some of the biggest opportunities in today's job market. But who REALLY gets access to them? LinkedIn's Economic Graph team's new research on women in the AI economy highlights an important challenge. AI roles are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying jobs, yet women account for just 26% of new hires into those roles, and representation declines even further at senior levels. That gap matters because this isn't just a story about technology. It's a story about opportunity. As AI reshapes work, we have a chance to build the pathways for more women to enter, advance, and lead the future of work as the AI economy grows. I'd encourage everyone to spend some time with the findings because understanding how opportunity is changing is one of the first steps to helping more people participate in it! 💪 https://lnkd.in/gKVxAa6d

Whether you’re planning your next vacation, looking for a new pair of novelty glasses (just me?), or researching software, the way we discover is changing. More and more of us are turning to AI to help make decisions faster. Being discoverable is no longer just about getting someone to your website. It’s about creating content and expertise that AI models recognize, trust, and surface. How brands stay visible in the AI era is one of the biggest topics B2B marketers are facing right now. That’s why the team at LinkedIn have been researching, testing, and learning what drives visibility in AI search, and we’re sharing what we found. Our new guide helps marketers build an AI-ready content system, earn more citations, and measure what really matters. My top take? 💡 LinkedIn is your strongest lever! It's the #1 most-cited domain for professional queries, so if you're not here, you're not showing up! Take a look and let me know what you think. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/gNu52gwn

Choosing a college is one of the first big decisions young people make about their future. That's why I love the LinkedIn Top Colleges ranking. It's not based on prestige alone. It's grounded in what happens AFTER graduation, from career growth and hiring outcomes to networking, entrepreneurship, and skill development. 💡 This year, we expanded beyond the Top 50 with rankings for AI talent, engineering, business, HBCUs, liberal arts colleges, and more. Because there's no single definition of success, and students deserve better tools to find the path that's right for them. On a personal note...I was thrilled to see UC San Diego, where I earned a master’s degree, recognized among the schools with the highest share of recent alumni building AI skills. 🤖 The future of work is changing fast. It's encouraging to see higher education evolving alongside it. Check out the list! 🎓📊 https://lnkd.in/ddgrnygr

We are working to stop the slop!  At LinkedIn we believe that real people sharing their ideas, insights and personality is what makes this place valuable and exciting.  Sure, AI is important for so many business applications—and it can be a great editing and proofreading tool. But we want to promote human insights and sharing here.  So please see more info on what we’re doing to reduce AI slop on LinkedIn from our CPO Hari Srinivasan. https://lnkd.in/g2vNdN_F

AI slop is a top priority for all of us. We really care about this. People come to LinkedIn to connect with real people and share their real perspectives, ideas and expertise. Here are a few more changes to keep it that way. - We continue to improve and invest in our automation defenses. On comments alone, everyday we are now catching hundreds of thousands of automated comment attempts, and have blocked billions of other automation attempts (posting at scale, slop) in the last couple months alone. - We are ramping up a series of new and improved classifiers that identify if a post is AI-slop or generally low-quality content. This will reduce the amount of AI slop you might see in suggested content and content from outside your network. - We are ramping the ability for members to tell us if they believe a post or comment seems like AI slop. Slop is hard to define and the definition changes; this lets us tune our models and make better feeds. - For anyone who shares content, we will test a way to privately flag, in your analytics dashboard, when members feel your post may have come off as inauthentic or heavy use of AI. This approach is based on two learnings.  First, AI and slop are not the same thing; many people refine thoughts with AI, and we believe they want to know when they sound inauthentic. Second, we want members to get feedback from real humans on what sounds authentic - not just have an AI detector review it and get it wrong. - We asked ourselves why do people post with AI anyway?  The answer is LinkedIn isn’t a one-word kind of place and they feel more confident running their posts through AI.   We’re taking this learning, removing the ‘enhance your post’ feature you see when you write a post or message & replacing with a feature that proofreads your words, but does not change your voice. - Finally, we continue to expand profile & pages verification so members know who they are connecting with and who is writing the content they are reading. You’ll also be able to block any comments from Company pages you no longer want to see. There is more to come.  Will do a better job keeping you all updated too.

Whether we’re celebrating the Knicks or Spain, one thing’s clear: the biggest wins aren’t solo acts — they’re the result of teams bringing their best together. And our new Collaborative Posts feature on LinkedIn does just that! These are so fun! You’ve probably seen a handful of Collaborative Posts in your feed from our early testing group and now we’re officially starting to roll this out globally over the next few weeks for both LinkedIn members and Company Pages. This is a massively exciting moment for LinkedIn creators, marketers, executives, and teams across the world who are working together to make magic happen! And this didn’t happen overnight, nor did it come from just one person. Proud of the incredible teamwork of LinkedIn colleagues like Howie F. Fung, Claudia Johnston, Lisa C., Pratheeksha K Seetharama and more who have worked tirelessly to bring this to life. See more here for info on this feature - https://lnkd.in/p/eJhcaJuu.
