"On January 28, the company announced partnerships with three vibe coding platforms- Lovable, Relay.app, and Replit -that will allow qualified users to link their accounts on those apps to their accounts on LinkedIn, adding certificates based on their proficiency with the tools. The level of certification can increase over time as people continue to use a tool and demonstrate their sophistication with it, says Pat Whelan, head of career products at LinkedIn."
""That signals to hirers that this person actually has that skill and actually put the time in-they're using that product," he says. "And it becomes a way for you to sort of stand out as a job seeker and be seen in this crowded and challenging job market." Unlike test-based certifications, those looking to add the new certificates to their profiles won't simply be able to cram and pass an exam. In at least some cases, proficiency will be assessed by product-makers' own AI systems, but it will require actual usage of the underlying tool."
LinkedIn partnered with Lovable, Relay.app, and Replit to let qualified users link those accounts and add certificates that reflect proficiency with each platform. Certification levels can increase over time as users continue demonstrating sophisticated tool use. Partner companies determine certification processes and may use their own AI systems to assess proficiency, but certificates require actual usage rather than passing a single test. Certificates serve as signals to hiring managers and LinkedIn's hiring assistant AI that users have demonstrated sought-after AI skills. Usage from side projects and side hustles qualifies toward certification.
