OpenAI is developing a new AI-powered hiring platform that will put the company in direct competition with LinkedIn. The service, called OpenAI Jobs Platform, is scheduled to launch by mid-2026. The company also plans to launch a pilot project called OpenAI Certifications in late 2025.
The new product was announced by OpenAI's head of applications, Fiji Simo, TechCrunch reports .
She noted that the company will “use AI to help find the perfect match between what companies need and what employees can offer.” According to Simo, the service will also offer a separate direction that will allow small businesses and local governments to access the best talent in the field of AI.
Notably, OpenAI’s hiring platform could create direct competition for the company with LinkedIn, co-founded by Reed Hoffman, one of OpenAI’s early investors. LinkedIn is also owned by Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest financial backer.
In addition, OpenAI will begin issuing certificates for users with different levels of “AI proficiency.” This will take place within the framework of the online program OpenAI Academy , which began operating last year. The OpenAI Certifications pilot project will start in late 2025.
The creator of ChatGPT says he is working with Walmart, one of the world's largest private employers, on his certification program, which aims to certify 10 million Americans by 2030.
OpenAI says it is launching these programs as part of its commitment to the White House's AI Literacy Initiative.
