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.

Day 1 at Talent Connect reinforced a simple idea: in the AI era, the workforce you build determines the growth you achieve. As skills and business needs evolve faster than ever, business leaders are shifting from asking "Who should we hire?" to "What capabilities do we need to win?"
We introduced Hiring Assistant 2 to help organizations build the workforce they need to compete and grow in a rapidly changing market. Learn more below, and let me know in the comments how is talent becoming a bigger part of your business strategy?

Hiring Assistant (aka LIHA 2), our newest version of the world's best AI recruiting product, got unveiled this morning at our Talent Connect conference in NYC. 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." (Link to story in comments.)
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.

With 20,000+ customers, our little Hiring Assistant is growing up fast. With today's launch, we've made it even better. It's now:

-More trusted, leveraging our fast growing verified identity & skills evidence graphs.
All these features are based on our belief that nobody is taking a job without talking to another person. We aim to reduce the overhead in recruiting, so hirers can focus on what really matters: the talent.

The most important part of trust is knowing who is authentic. In other words, is the person you are engaging with a real person? Are they who they say they are?
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.

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.

How do I know if a candidate is real? Why is a person connected to my Company Page even though they don't work at my company?
These are some of the common questions I get from our Hiring and Marketing customers.
The good news is we are making incredible progress in building trust on LinkedIn. While we have been focused here for a while - we have over 115 million verified members on the platform with 75 members verifying their identity every minute - we are just getting started.
You can learn more about our new wave of verification updates from Oscar Rodriguez as we continue to take steps to ensure trust remains a core part of the LinkedIn experience:

"Who is real" has become the most important question on the Internet. You can't talk, let alone do business with someone, when you don't trust who they are.
We’ve made good progress here. 75 people now verify their profile every minute, adding to the 115M+ members who have already verified. Along the way, we have learned a lot too. Every government manages identity differently, there is a cost to validating if a person or company is real, not all companies have work email addresses and more. Overcoming these challenges at scale is hard, but critical to get right.
We have a few new features going live to help:
1. We're enabling network verification, promoting verified members to verify connections that they worked or studied with. Obviously there are many edge cases here. Thus, we are building a series of guardrails around this, including ensuring the verifier is already verified, collecting multiple confirmations, time of connection limits, two-factor authentication requirements and more.
2. Company admins can now remove accounts that falsely claim employment from their page (fyi - this will take some time to roll out more broadly) .
3. Rather than requiring everyone to undergo separate, often lengthy, ID checks, you can choose to display your "Verified on LinkedIn" status directly on a growing list of partner platforms, now including Truecaller & PeerSpotlike 250celebrate 39love 18insightful 5support 3
Having a verified profile is important on LinkedIn. We're launching new features to make verification more accessible and trustworthy.

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.
