I am proud of the work that New Relic has done to create an inclusive and welcoming workplace. This accomplishment underscores our commitment both in the U.S. and globally.

Ciriello lost his job and couldn't find work for nearly a year, leading to significant financial hardship for his family, who lived in motels and later in a car.

Estefania Angel noticed that while her company helped other enterprises set up AI, it did not use those systems internally. She began using AI apps in Slack, Outlook, and Google to track assignments, which garnered attention from her superiors.

Headhunters? More like breadhunters: On top of career coaching and résumé building, reverse-recruiting agencies often take the keys and apply to dozens of jobs on an applicant's behalf. In exchange, these startups can charge monthly fees north of $1,000 and/or take a cut of their clients' salaries once they find a job, per WSJ. A conventional recruiter told WSJ that he's somewhat uneasy about people handing reverse recruiters their LinkedIn or Workday logins, as well as the idea of charging job seekers.

Chimka also notes that these tools were designed to cater to small business leaders-whose survey feedback to LinkedIn reinforced a common theme, echoed by many owners, that finding skilled talent remains challenging. This source of frustration is more of a problem of perception, rather than a lack of skills, he says. Applicants seeking to pivot into a new industry, for example, may not have the obvious qualifications companies are looking for, but that doesn't mean they can't do the job. LinkedIn Hiring's AI aims to give these candidates a fair shot by making the process more "skills based," he said.

If the job market feels harder than it should right now, you're not imagining it. Recent analysis from LinkedIn shows that while more than half of professionals (56%) plan to job hunt in 2026, but 76% don't feel prepared. Hiring hasn't stopped, but it has slowed, narrowed, and become more selective. When fewer open roles, higher expectations, and longer decision cycles are now the norm, broad job searches are not the answer, but focusing on targeted job searches.
