OpenAI Takes on LinkedIn with AI-Powered Job Platform
OpenAI is launching a specialized job platform aimed at connecting employers with AI-skilled candidates, set to debut by mid-2026. The initiative includes a certification program targeting 10 million Americans by 2030, backed by partnerships with industry leaders like Walmart and John Deere.
The MOVE comes amid a turbulent job market where AI automation has already led to significant workforce reductions—Salesforce and Klarna have cut thousands of jobs, while young workers (22-25) face a 13% decline in AI-exposed sectors. OpenAI's paradoxical role—both displacing and creating jobs—highlights the dual-edged impact of generative AI on labor dynamics.
