Job Match

What is Job Match?

Job Match lets job seekers see how their profile matches with a job description in seconds and get detailed insights into which qualifications they meet and which ones they might be missing, helping them more quickly decide if a job is the right fit for them and if they should apply.

How does Job Match work?

Job Match uses LinkedIn’s advanced AI to understand both job descriptions and seeker profiles in depth. It considers explicit skills listed on a profile and implicit signals, like publishing an article that demonstrates expertise. The system compares these skills and experiences to the job’s required and preferred qualifications to generate a match rating and insight summary. This helps identify how closely a seeker’s profile aligns with the role.
