Last week, The Atlantic has published a story with a very frank title: “The labor market is hell.” The piece describes a frustrating situation for job seekers and job managers: “Young people use Chatppt to write their applications; HR use AI to read them; nobody is hired.” Investigations also show increasing anxiety with regard to generative AI and its effect on jobs. A recent Reuters Ipsos survey revealed that 71% of respondents said “that they feared that AI” will not put too many people unemployed “.”
Perception does not always correspond to reality, but in this case, the labor market is really faced with opposite winds. The Washington Post said that long-term unemployment is at a post-pandemic summit; In a low labor market report, NBC News cited Citi analysts who have declared “employment growth near zero” in recent months; And a study of three Stanford economists recently discovered that AI already decreased job offers for software developers.
Reports like these paint a dark image for candidates. But this month, Openai announced that he wanted to help job seekers and employers by launching a job platform supplied by AI. According to Techcrunch, the employment platform would compete with Linkedin and should be launched in 2026.
The new product, which opens described in a blog articlewould work in the same way as Other employment platforms fed by AI.
In short, the Openai Jobs platform would help employers find employees who are noted for AI to hire for everything that needs the company. OPENAI says he has worked with tons of companies like Walmart, various consulting companies and even government government agencies to discover what modern companies are looking for in terms of AI.

Face, the concept resembles a version focused on LinkedIn AI, where people would create curriculum vitae on the platform and would be twinned with work that corresponds to this description, of course, AI. In addition to LinkedIn, hiring platforms like Hiring.cafe and Sonara are already trying to fill this niche on the job market
Openai has also announced that it will start its own AI certification program. It actually started earlier this year with the launch of the Openai Academy, An online class program to instruct people on how to use AI better at work. The Openai Academy will begin to issue certifications to people who will complete the courses, and these certifications will be shown to potential employers. (Linkedin has His own certificate program.)
As generating AI provokes new challenges and anxious for job seekers, Openai clearly believes that it can also solve some of these problems. In a blog post on the Opena Jobs platform, Fiji Simo, a new CEO of OpenAi applications, wrote that it thought that “AI will unlock more opportunities for more people than any technology in history”.
For job seekers, it can be difficult to square this utopian vision with recent comments from the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, which predicted that AI could destroy half of all the work of entry-level collar by 2030. In addition, Linkedin already offers many OpenAi Hopes tools to deliver with its own job platform, and on a difficult professional market silver.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April, filed a complaint against Openai, alleging that it has violated Ziff Davis Copyrights in the training and exploitation of its AI systems.
