The challenge is real for people looking for work and for companies looking to hire with job applications up and honing in on the right people with the right skills has never being harder. So we listened to our customers and built this newest version to go deeper into the hiring process, to help every recruiter win and to give them ability to focus on the right applicants.
To quote Isabelle Bousquette from today's story on LIHA 2 in the Wall Street Journal: "Artificial intelligence is complicating an already tricky hiring market in the U.S., but the same technology could also be part of the solution, according to LinkedIn CEO Daniel Shapero."

But behind the scenes is always where the magic happens. Just minutes before everything went live, this team of comms pros, and other great folks not pictured, huddled together in a dark room way in the back of the Javits Convention Center. Together they worked through all the final details and we shared that special moment when all the work you've done becomes real. This is one of the very best parts of working in communications, experiencing the moment together as a team.

This week we expanded verification to help members and businesses built trust on and off LinkedIn:
*Professionals can help verify each other’s experience to give people another way to build credibility through the people they’ve actually worked or studied with.
*Businesses can protect their brand reputation with more controls over who is associated with their brand, including new tools to address inaccurate employee associations.
*LinkedIn verified identities can travel to more places off LinkedIn, with Truecaller and PeerSpot joining the growing list of ‘Verified on LinkedIn’ partners.

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.
