Job hunting platform -  Indeed, is getting a makeover, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) features to improve the experience for both job seekers and recruiters. 

The company redesigned its user profile page, including an innovative AI-powered work experience writer. This tool helps individuals craft compelling descriptions of their past projects.

Additionally, Indeed now allows users to store up to five different resumes, making it easier to tailor applications to specific job requirements. Both features are expected to launch soon. 

Previously, Indeed offered an option for users to make their profiles visible to recruiters. This feature is now switched on by default, with easy access to adjustments in the settings. 

For recruiters, Indeed introduced a smart sourcing suite aimed at minimizing "irrelevant outreach." 

This refers to situations where employers contact candidates who don't align with the job description. The suite provides advanced search filters and AI-powered summaries of candidate profiles. 

Furthermore, Indeed is incorporating AI-powered smart messaging and automated interview scheduling. 

The messaging tool allows hiring managers to create or personalize communications with potential hires. According to Indeed, during the testing phase, recruiters using the smart sourcing features saved an average of six hours per week. 

The company emphasized its commitment to responsible AI development to address concerns about potential bias or missing key details in the AI-generated summaries. 

Indeed's competitor, LinkedIn, also utilizes AI in various aspects like learning, recruitment, marketing, messaging, and profile enhancement. 

Deepti Patibandla, a Senior Director of Product at Indeed, highlighted the company's core mission of facilitating successful job placements.

"While LinkedIn positions itself more as a professional social network, Indeed's focus is on getting people hired," she explained.

"We aim to streamline the hiring process for everyone involved. Our goal is to connect job seekers with relevant opportunities and avoid bombarding them with unrelated positions. These are our primary areas of focus now, but we see a future where Indeed becomes a platform for users to chart their entire career paths." 

This news comes after Indeed's workforce reduction of 2,200 employees (15%) last year. CEO Chris Hyams attributed the layoffs to streamlining the organization for future challenges.
