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.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

a three-clinic network bets dubai is ready for longevity medicine

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
