"Specifically, the $300 billion company wants to streamline the process of hiring by automatically matching candidates to roles via context alone, without the need for titles, résumés, applications, or screening-a fully automated, frictionless match between resource and need, run at zero cost in a fraction of the time it would take Becky from HR to book meeting room 14B next Tuesday, but with near-infinite scope and efficiency."
"On September 4, OpenAI announced that it was coming after LinkedIn. And it was coming after job search specifically. For those unfamiliar with the story, it was reported across multiple sources that not content with torpedoing Google, education, interpersonal relationships, and entire industries such as psychiatry or management consultancy (both smugly considered untouchable until about 15 minutes ago), OpenAI is now coming after the age-old industry of human resources."
"It's yet another cold, logical extension of artificial intelligence 's purported ability to reduce human intuition down to a series of predictable algorithmic factors. Now, let's be fair. OpenAI's proposition assumes (probably rightly) that virtually all future roles will require some degree of AI knowledge or fluency. Moreover, the press release breathlessly proposes an OpenAI Academy, one that will train the machine-picked workers of the future on how to best serve their artificial overlords."
On September 4, OpenAI positioned itself as a competitor to LinkedIn by targeting job search and hiring processes. The company proposes automatic candidate-role matching using contextual signals, eliminating titles, résumés, applications, and screening to create a frictionless, near-instantaneous hiring pipeline. The initiative assumes widespread AI knowledge will be required for future roles and includes a proposed OpenAI Academy to train machine-selected workers. The plan promises lower cost and greater scale than traditional HR processes. Questions remain about whether such automation can displace LinkedIn given its large user base and the entrenched, protected nature of human resources functions.
