LinkedIn Is Trying To Help You Apply For Fewer Jobs
The platform’s new AI-powered “Job Match” aims to guide users toward roles they’re qualified for and away from those they aren’t.

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.

Yango Ride Expands Corporate Transport Service In Abu Dhabi
Known as Yango Rides for Business, the solution aims to simplify business travel management for companies operating across Emirates.

Yango Ride, a global ride-hailing service under the Yango Group, has extended its corporate transport solution, Yango Rides for Business, to Abu Dhabi. Initially launched in Dubai in 2024, the company is now expanding in a bid to simplify business travel for companies operating between both Emirates.
Yango Rides for Business offers a streamlined way to handle employee transportation through a single platform. Instead of dealing with the hassle of prepayments or reimbursement claims, businesses will be able to consolidate all ride expenses under a single corporate account that’s billed monthly. The setup makes it easier to track spending while ensuring expenses remain fully tax-deductible.
A key advantage of the service is its flexibility, allowing managers to set ride permissions and budget limits for employees and clients. Businesses can tailor transport solutions based on team needs — whether for daily commutes or specific travel requirements. Additionally, a dedicated account management system provides real-time analytics, enabling firms to monitor usage patterns and optimize costs.
Islam Abdul Karim, Regional Head of Yango Middle East, highlighted the importance of this expansion, explaining: “Abu Dhabi’s 4.5% economic growth in Q3 2024 reflects a thriving business environment where seamless mobility is essential for productivity. Yango Rides for Business simplifies corporate transportation, reducing administrative tasks and optimizing costs. By providing a centralized solution, we help companies ensure smooth employee travel experiences, supporting efficiency and growth in this dynamic market”.
