According to media, OpenAI is developing an AI recruitment service called the OpenAI Jobs Platform, which is expected to be officially launched in mid-2026. The platform aims to connect businesses with job seekers, using AI technology to find the most suitable talent. This move will put OpenAI directly in competition with LinkedIn, which was co-founded by Reid Hoffman, an early investor in OpenAI, and is currently owned by Microsoft, which is also OpenAI's largest financial backer.
Fidji Simo, OpenAI's head of applications, announced this new project in a blog post. She stated that the company hopes to use AI technology to help businesses find the talent they need and provide job seekers with positions that match their skills. Notably, the platform will also offer specialized services for small businesses and local governments to help them access top AI talent.
In addition to the job platform, OpenAI also plans to expand into multiple new markets. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, mentioned during a dinner with journalists that Simo will be responsible for the development of several applications, including the job platform, a browser, and social media apps. Such developments indicate that OpenAI is not limited to its core business of ChatGPT.
Meanwhile, LinkedIn is continuously updating its platform, adding AI features to improve the efficiency of matching job seekers with companies. The launch of OpenAI's job platform is undoubtedly bringing more choices and challenges to the job market.
OpenAI also plans to offer different levels of "AI fluency" certification through its OpenAI Academy, which was launched last year, aiming to enhance people's understanding and application of AI. According to OpenAI, a pilot program for this certification is expected to be launched by the end of 2025, with a goal of certifying 10 million Americans by 2030.
When discussing the impact of AI on traditional jobs, Simo also mentioned that many tech executives are concerned about the potential disruption AI may cause to jobs. Although OpenAI cannot prevent this change, Simo believes the company can help people find suitable job opportunities by improving their AI fluency.
