LinkedIn's Hiring Assistant agent finds candidates and drafts outreach for recruiters

What the agent does

A recruiter pastes rough notes or an old job post. The agent turns them into a list of qualifications, builds a first candidate pipeline, drafts outreach messages, and helps schedule interviews. LinkedIn says matching focuses on skills, not location or school.

What to copy

• Let the agent turn messy notes into a structured brief first. Review the brief before it searches.
• Keep humans on every message that goes to a candidate.
• Audit shortlists for patterns you do not want.

Here are my notes for a new role: {notes}

1. Turn them into: must-have skills, nice-to-have skills, and deal-breakers.
   Ask me about anything vague before you continue.
2. Write a search query using only skills and experience, not school,
   age, gender, or location (unless location is a real legal requirement).
3. Draft a 90-word outreach message that names one specific thing from
   the candidate's profile.
