OpenAI unveiled that it is planning to launch, by mid-2026, a LinkedIn-style hiring platform to connect businesses and employees.
This OpenAI Jobs Platform will “use AI to find the perfect matches between what companies need and what workers can offer,” OpenAI CEO of Applications Fidji Simo announced the new endeavor in a blog post on Thursday.
The San Francisco-based research lab seeks to expand beyond its core consumer offering. OpenAI is reportedly working on a browser and a social media app, too.
OpenAI’s job platform can put the company in direct competition with LinkedIn, which was co-founded by Reid Hoffman, one of OpenAI’s earliest investors, and is owned by Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest financial backer.
OpenAI also said it will start offering certifications for people with different levels of “AI fluency” by the end of this year through its OpenAI Academy and this initiative called OpenAI Certifications.
“OpenAI is committing to certifying 10 million Americans by 2030. And we’ll be doing it with our launch partners, including the biggest private employer in the world: Walmart,” said Fidji Simo.
The company said that these two initiatives are part of its commitment to the White House’s efforts toward expanding AI literacy.
