Earlier this year, LinkedIn launched an AI-powered job search tool that was available to users in the U.S. Now, the company is expanding the feature to people search, and promises that users in other countries will have access to it in a few months.
The new feature will allow you to search for queries like, "Find me healthcare investors with FDA experience," people who "co-founded a productivity company and are based in New York," or "Who in my network can help me understand wireless networks."
“With lexical search, you have to know the exact job title of a person, or you might have to struggle with filters to find the right person. And if you didn’t know the right combination, the right person remained unfound. The new AI-powered people search is designed to be the fastest way to the person who can help you the most,” Rohan Rajiv, senior director of product management at LinkedIn, told TechCrunch.
LinkedIn is rolling out an AI-powered people search feature to premium users in the US, with plans to expand it to other countries in the coming months. Users who get access to the feature will see "I'm looking for..." in the search bar instead of the standard "Search."
