Sharing some behind the scenes footage of a great Talent Connect event this week. Kudos to the team for putting together a great experience.

It's usually about learning longest, rather than fastest. Plateauing is the enemy.

Job applications are up, but honing on the right people with the right skills has never been harder. I'm excited to introduce Hiring Assistant 2... our newest version of the world's best AI recruiting product. Thanks to Isabelle Bousquette at The Wall Street Journal for the conversation.

Owning our technology stack end-to-end enables us to optimize every layer - something that becomes increasingly important as we deploy ever-hungrier AI workloads. When we decided to double down on our own data centers and infrastructure rather than continue migrating to Azure, it really came down to timing and scale. Azure was growing at an incredible rate (and still is!) because customer demand was going through the roof, and LinkedIn was seeing its own skyrocketing growth at the same time. Building fresh for the platform we needed was the right strategic bet for LinkedIn's future. While the internet's ChatGPT moment hadn't happened yet, we already saw companies like Meta reaping the benefits of developing larger and larger AI models, and the leverage from the systems they were building to support them. We bet on building that same kind of foundation ourselves and years later, the payoff is that our engineers can design entire systems end-to-end: intelligently splitting inference workloads across GPUs and CPUs, distilling large models into smaller ones that are very good at solving a specific optimization problem, and going as deep as writing our own GPU kernels with Liger Kernel to squeeze more out of every training run. Owning all of this made our teams more disciplined and more creative at the same time.

Thank you to The Wall Street Journal for sharing our new verification offerings and how we are working to fight fake members and jobs on our platform every day. It's an uphill battle but we are in it to win it for workers.

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.

Through 17 years of working at LinkedIn, I think I’ve interviewed thousands of candidates and there are a few things that consistently surprise people about us. From operating our own datacenters to our traffic scale to the innovation we're doing with AI across both consumer and enterprise, it's a pretty remarkable range.
I recently sat down with Tim Jurka and Wenjing Zhang to discuss some of the technical challenges we're tackling that aren’t always obvious from the outside.

Never have I ever had so much fun embarrassing myself in front of teammates, colleagues, and ad industry professionals!! Even better that it was for such a good cause, The Valerie Fund!
I think it's safe to say that LinkedIn and Microsoft Advertising's first-ever "CAREoke for the Kids" team was a rousing success - a top three finish, tons of funds raised, and a million ideas of how to take home the trophy next year, given how competitive we are.
Huge kudos to my teammates Melissa Perrier Alejandra Wichmann Danielle Berman Jamie Heckelman Michael Katz Ellie Weed Miller Fahey, our fearless leader and cheerleader Matthew Derella, our team captain extraordinaire Melissa Sales, our plant aka judge Zach Christensen-Mohammed, and everyone that came out and supported!
