Inside LinkedIn’s AI overhaul: Job search powered by LLM distillation


In building its AI-powered job search, now available to all users, LinkedIn chose to distill large models and improve its understanding of queries.

“This new search experience lets members describe their goals in their own words and get results that truly reflect what they’re looking for,” said Erran Berger, vice president of product development at LinkedIn, told VentureBeat in an email. LinkedIn previously stated in a blog post that a significant issue users faced when searching for jobs on the platform was an over-reliance on precise keyword queries. LinkedIn vice president for engineering Wenjing Zhang told VentureBeat in a separate interview that they saw the need to improve how people could find jobs that fit them perfectly, and that began with a better understanding of what they are looking for.
