LINKEDIN UPDATES RECRUITER PLATFORM 

Linkedin has now updated the AI for the Recruiter platform(s) to improve the matching process.  

From LinkedIn.... "Recruiters have told us they’re often frustrated by the need to jump from tool to tool. We’ve heard you. So we’ve put all of our core tools - Jobs, Recruiter, and Pipeline Builder - on a single platform.

LINKEDIN ROLL OUT LIVE STREAMING 

This has not yet been released in the UK, but you will soon be able to live stream any video from the LinkedIn mobile app. Better late than never eh?
