LinkedIn tests feature to show job seekers response likelihood

LinkedIn is testing a feature called "responsiveness insights" to inform job seekers about how likely they are to receive responses to their applications. This comes as many applicants report feeling ignored during the hiring process. Last year, over 14 million job applications went unanswered in a single quarter. Job search platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Greenhouse are implementing tools to show which companies respond promptly to applicants. The changes aim to address growing frustration among job seekers, especially as long-term unemployment rises. New AI tools have increased the number of applications, making it harder for companies to manage responses effectively.
