LinkedIn CEO on AI Jobs, Agentic Hiring and the AI Slop Problem

LinkedIn CEO Dan Shapero says the platform’s data points to a more complicated story. In this Corner Office Conversation, Shapero joins Anirban Chowdhury and Dia Rekhi to discuss why hiring has slowed, how AI is rewriting skills, and why India is seeing a surge in AI roles, R&D hiring and new founders. He also explains LinkedIn’s fast-growing AI Hiring Assistant, the possibility of recruiters’ AI agents talking to jobseekers’ agents, the platform’s crackdown on “AI slop,” and why LinkedIn wants to remain a trusted professional network.
