OpenAI to Launch AI-Powered Hiring Platform, Challenging LinkedIn’s Dominance

OpenAI has announced the development of an AI-driven hiring platform, set to launch by mid-2026. The platform, dubbed OpenAI Jobs Platform, aims to revolutionize talent acquisition by leveraging artificial intelligence to match companies with skilled workers. Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, emphasized the platform's potential to bridge gaps in the labor market, particularly for small businesses and local governments seeking AI expertise.

The Texas Association of Business has already expressed interest in utilizing the platform to connect employers with talent capable of modernizing operations. Simo highlighted the platform's focus on delivering high-quality matches through AI, ensuring opportunities for candidates at all skill levels.

This MOVE signals OpenAI's broader ambition to diversify beyond its flagship ChatGPT product. CEO Sam Altman hinted at additional applications in development, including potential expansions into browser and social networking technologies.
