linkedin is trying to help you apply for fewer jobs

If you’ve ever spoken to anyone hunting for a job lately, you’ve probably heard about how difficult it is to even secure an interview. According to LinkedIn, one of the reasons for this struggle is that too many people are applying for roles they aren’t qualified for, making it harder for strong candidates to get noticed.

To tackle this, LinkedIn is rolling out a new AI-powered tool called “Job Match” — a feature designed to bridge the gap between job seekers and recruiters by offering detailed summaries that help users understand how well they fit a particular role.

Unlike simple keyword matching tools, “Job Match” takes a more nuanced approach by using AI to analyze a candidate’s overall experience and compare it with the qualifications listed in a job description. The idea isn’t just to help users find roles they’re qualified for, but also to steer them away from applying to jobs where they might fall short.

The feature is accessible to all LinkedIn users, but those with LinkedIn Premium get extra perks, such as more detailed insights about their job match level. In the future, recruiters will also benefit, as the tool aims to surface more qualified candidates, reducing the chances of strong applicants being overlooked.

Whether this new approach will make life easier for job seekers is still up for debate. The last couple of years have been brutal for many industries, with massive layoffs still a regular occurrence at the start of 2025. All this means even fiercer competition for fewer openings — something no AI tool can ever hope to completely solve.

However, LinkedIn product manager Rohan Rajiv believes the lack of transparency in hiring is a big part of the issue, pointing out that early testing of “Job Match” showed that a “non-trivial chunk” of mismatches between candidates and jobs is easier to fix than people realize. “I think there’s a portion of this that will always be labor market dynamics, but I would argue that there’s a significant portion of this that is just pure lack of transparency,” he said.

Cemplicity

Cemplicity — a leading health-tech company founded in 2013 — has launched its advanced platform in the UAE, aiming to revolutionize patient care and streamline healthcare operations to improve clinical outcomes.

Designed to analyze patient-reported data in real-time, the platform incorporates Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to collect and analyze patient feedback. By transforming the data into actionable insights, healthcare providers will be better equipped to improve quality of care and increase efficiency.

Cemplicity’s technology can even tackle chronic conditions like diabetes, which affects 12.3% of the UAE population. By enabling regular symptom tracking and side-effect monitoring (even when patients are at home) the platform ensures proactive care management, and can also optimize early detection and screening of cancers.

Blaik Wilson, Cemplicity’s CEO, shared: “We are excited to bring Cemplicity to the UAE, a nation committed to healthcare excellence. With the private healthcare sector evolving at an impressive pace, partnering with such forward-thinking providers enables us to transform patient feedback into meaningful insights that enhance patient experiences and improve outcomes”.

Wilson added: “Globally, healthcare produces 30% of the world’s data volume. Aggregating and anonymizing patient-reported data not only uncovers trends and evaluates treatment outcomes but also advances the UAE’s broader ambition to lead in medical research and innovation”.

With a presence in nine countries and partnerships with major healthcare providers like the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), Cemplicity has already redefined how hospitals and clinics leverage patient feedback. Its tools, known for achieving high survey response rates, help link patient experiences to organizational KPIs and Net Promoter Scores (NPS), enabling measurable improvements in operations, and clinical outcomes, while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

For the UAE market, the platform has been specially adapted to local needs, offering multilingual support (including Arabic) and seamless integration with tools such as WhatsApp and various hospital management systems.
