Top 10 Recruiting tools for Linkedin

2025. LinkedIn gets AI Search



LinkedIn, the business social network, has launched AI-powered people search. LinkedIn's standard search engine relies on keywords and numerous built-in filters. It requires careful thought when choosing which words to enter to get the best results. The AI ​​search engine can be customized to specify contacts by industry, experience, location, and more. For example, you can request investors in the medical field who have worked with relevant regulators, founders of productivity tools based in a specific city, or ask it to find people in its network who can help you navigate wireless networks. AI search is currently available to Premium plan users in the US, but plans are to expand its geographic reach in the coming months.


2021. LinkedIn launched its own freelance marketplace


LinkedIn has launched a marketplace for finding and booking freelance services, which will compete with Upwork and Fiverr. The platform is called Service Marketplace. Its unique feature is that freelancers can't search for work themselves. The system works differently. Users set up freelance profiles and potential clients can then find short-term contractors and arrange for them to complete the work. This feature is available to all LinkedIn users. You can set up a freelance profile through your personal page. The service is currently free. LinkedIn plans to introduce a paid model in the future.

The user interface has been improved for HR departments, business units, and individual employees.

2012. LinkedIn acquires Rapportive (social contact manager for GMail)



A couple of years ago, when Facebook began to take over the world, we thought that the business social network LinkedIn would not survive (or at least stop growing). However, LinkedIn is not only alive, but also thriving. The social network has already attracted a whopping 150 million people and is doubling its revenue annually (in 2011, it was over $500 million). This is all because LinkedIn did not compete with Facebook for the place where users communicate and spend time every day, but positioned itself as a tool that can be used as needed (for finding jobs, employees, B2B clients and partners, and clarifying contact information). LinkedIn has succeeded in mobile access, integration with corporate websites and business applications, and B2B advertising. And now it wants to penetrate the largest (unofficial) social network called Email. To achieve this, LinkedIn is acquiring Rapportive. Rapportive is a GMail plugin that displays the social media profile of the person who sent you an email to the right of the email. The information is pulled from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. LinkedIn has the potential to become a self-updating contact manager in every inbox.
