LinkedIn Launches LinkedIn Live: LinkedIn partnered with a handful of third-party live-streaming services and developers to debut its own live video broadcast service called LinkedIn Live. Select LinkedIn members in the U.S. who were given access on an invitation-only basis can now broadcast real-time video to select groups or across the entire platform.

LinkedIn may open the pilot program to more interested users “in the coming weeks,” but stated that it would like to evaluate the user experience based on the initial pilot program before rolling out LinkedIn Live more broadly.

You can check out a LinkedIn Live from our guest, Cathy Hackl, on her LinkedIn profile. As a beta tester helping to develop LinkedIn Live, Cathy is one of the first members to use this new product and she shares this experience with us.

LinkedIn Debuted New Recruiting and Job Hunting Features: LinkedIn introduced two new sets of features that streamline the hiring and job hunting process for both companies and job seekers. These new tools also allow members to learn more about and track companies they’re interested in. (43:07)

LinkedIn previewed its upcoming Intelligent Hiring Experience, a dashboard that combines LinkedIn’s existing hiring suite, which is comprised of LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, and Pipeline Builder, into a “streamlined, built-from-the-ground-up interface.” This new tool promises to make recruiting and applying for jobs on LinkedIn much easier.

VentureBeat reports that the new tool is scheduled to launch in late summer 2019 with several product enhancements expected to roll out in the coming months.
