AI-Assisted Messages in Recruiter

In LinkedIn Recruiter, you can easily compose and send unique, personalized messages to candidates with Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistance through AI-Assisted Messages. Below is an overview of the feature.

Who can use this feature?

This feature is currently available for a subset of LinkedIn Recruiter customers whose language setting is English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

AI-Assisted Messages draws on profile information provided by the candidate and combine it with your job requirements to create a fully personalized message in one click.

A variety of existing data is leveraged in AI-Assisted Messages, such as:

The opportunity: job title, responsibilities, location, salary, workplace type, employment type, seniority, etc. for messages with job context. If there is no associated job post found within the project, the AI model will first check the project context (project metadata, like title, location, etc). If there is no project information found, we will infer information about the opportunity based on the candidate’s current position.
Good fit: prioritized skills/skill match with job title, experience, past companies/roles, past interest in company, past applications, open to work, current/past schools, etc.
Recruiter/Company/Team background: recruiter info, company info, culture, values, etc.

Draft and personalize a message

When you click the Compose icon associated with a candidate, you can click Draft with AI in the Compose Message window to draft a personalized message specifically for that candidate. Once the message is drafted, you can send the message, or edit the content and then send it.

You can also customize the inputs into the AI-model to generate a message that contains the information you want. Once you've generated an initial message, under Personalization on the right side of the message, select or deselect elements to include in the message. After you update the specifications you'd like, you can click Draft again to generate a new message.

Add custom content to a message

You can create and add custom content to a message from the Personalization menu. Any custom content you create is available to you only and isn’t visible or accessible to other recruiters on your contract. To personalize your message with custom content, click  Custom content to add additional information, such as details about your company benefits. In the Custom content field, enter up to 500 characters, add a name in the Display Name field, then click Save. You can insert the custom content in all AI-assisted messages on your contract, until you edit or delete it.

Custom content will be inserted into the message draft as written. To edit the custom content, locate the custom content in the Company info section on the right, and click the  Edit icon next to the display name. To delete the custom content from the Personalization section, click the Edit icon and click Delete.

Important to know

You can’t include both custom content and About Company at the same time in a message. You must click the custom content element to add it to a message draft; it won’t be automatically added to a message. About Company personalization is only available to LinkedIn Recruiter customers whose language is set to English.

Provide feedback on a message

You can provide feedback on AI-Assisted Messages directly in the body of the message. You can indicate if AI-Assisted Messages performed well (thumbs up) or poorly (thumbs down). If you select poorly (thumbs down), a window will open where you can provide additional information that will help to improve the AI-Assisted Messages generation model.

Auto draft messages

Auto drafting of AI-Assisted Messages allows you to start composing a message with an AI-assisted message that you can edit and send. You can turn on auto drafting of AI-Assisted Messages by default at the contract level as an admin under Product settings > Preferences, or at the seat level as a recruiter under Product settings > Messaging.

View the performance of AI-Assisted Messages

You can check the performance of AI-Assisted Messages in the Recruiter InMail report. To view the InMail report from your Recruiter homepage, click Reports and select InMail from the dropdown.

Important to know

Candidates won't be notified if a message was drafted using AI assistance.
