Reflecting on an incredible experience at the LinkedIn Talent Connect Summit! I attended a session with LinkedIn's CEO, Ryan Roslansky, and CHRO, Teuila Hanson, hosted by Aneesh Raman. It was inspiring to see how Teuila has built a future-ready talent function, paving the way for a workforce that’s both innovative and resilient. Teuila and Ryan shared powerful insights on the future of work and LinkedIn’s strategic use of AI to make Talent Acquisition and Learning more efficient and human-centered. Key Highlights: • Hiring Assistant: LinkedIn introduced its first AI-powered agent, Hiring Assistant, which automates repetitive recruiting tasks. This innovation allows recruiters to focus on high-impact activities like advising hiring managers, building candidate relationships, and enhancing the candidate experience. Leading companies like AMS, Canva, Siemens, and Zurich Insurance are already piloting this tool. • Skills-Based Hiring & Verified Employment: To foster trust, LinkedIn is implementing a verified employment status for members and expanding its capabilities to recommend candidates based on skills. I asked Ryan about LinkedIn’s approach to verifying skills, especially soft skills like adaptability and critical thinking, and he shared that similar challenges were raised during his recent visit to India. • AI-Powered Coaching and Learning: LinkedIn Learning is expanding with 1,000+ AI courses and new interactive coaching features, enabling learners to practice essential human skills through realistic scenarios. This innovation aims to build confidence in soft skills — critical as the workplace evolves. At GlobalLogic, we’re also exploring adaptive assessments for soft skills, recognizing the importance of blending technology with human insight for a truly future-ready talent strategy. This session reinforced the importance of human connection in an AI-driven world and provided valuable insights to bring back to our team. Excited to continue bridging AI with people-centric hiring! Curious to hear from others — how is your organization leveraging AI to enhance the candidate experience?
