This week, Robert and Haley dive into LinkedIn’s launch of Hiring Assistant, its first full-fledged AI agent designed to help recruiters. As LinkedIn leans on Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI, this new tool promises to handle the repetitive grunt work of recruiting, like drafting job descriptions, sourcing candidates, and even scheduling interviews.

We explore what this AI means for recruiters: Is it really an assistant, or is it taking over the role entirely? Robert and Haley discuss LinkedIn’s broader AI strategy, which aims to leverage data from its 1 billion users and 41,000 skills to fuel smarter candidate searches. We look at the big question—will Hiring Assistant be a game-changer for recruiters or a threat to their jobs?

We also break down why LinkedIn’s new product matters to B2B businesses and whether recruiters will embrace or resist this automated help. And with LinkedIn already driving up revenues through AI-powered premium subscriptions, this is just the start of a bigger push to embed AI into its platform.

Tune in to hear about LinkedIn’s ambitious plan to redefine recruitment with AI and why this new era could fundamentally change how we hire and work.
