OpenAI to Launch AI-Powered Jobs Platform

• By John K. Waters
• 09/10/25

OpenAI announced it will launch an AI-powered hiring platform by mid-2026, directly competing with LinkedIn and Indeed in the professional networking and recruitment space. The company announced the initiative alongside an expanded certification program designed to verify AI skills for job seekers.

The OpenAI Jobs Platform will use artificial intelligence algorithms to match candidates with employers based on demonstrated AI competencies rather than traditional resume keywords. The platform targets businesses seeking workers proficient in automation, prompt engineering, and AI implementation across various industries.

OpenAI is collaborating with major employers, including Walmart and Boston Consulting Group, to develop the platform’s functionality. Walmart, the largest private employer in the United States with 1.6 million workers, will initially provide free certification access to all US employees.

The Texas Association of Business plans to use the platform to connect local employers with candidates capable of supporting IT modernization projects, according to OpenAI’s announcement.

The company is expanding its OpenAI Academy, a free learning platform that has reached over two million users, to offer formal AI certifications. The program will cover skills ranging from basic workplace AI applications to advanced prompt engineering techniques.

Training and certification testing will occur within ChatGPT’s Study Mode, allowing candidates to prepare and complete credentials without leaving the application. OpenAI aims to certify 10 million Americans by 2030.

The initiative positions OpenAI against established players in the professional networking market. LinkedIn maintains over one billion members globally, while Indeed processes 27 hires per minute with 615 million registered job seekers.

The platform also competes with LinkedIn Learning’s educational offerings, potentially creating tension with Microsoft, OpenAI’s primary investor, with a reported $13 billion stake. Microsoft has previously identified OpenAI as a competitor in specific business segments despite their partnership.

Labor market data support OpenAI’s focus on AI competencies. Research by Lightcast analyzing over one billion job postings found that positions requiring AI skills offer salaries averaging 28% higher than comparable roles without such requirements. Jobs demanding multiple AI skills command premiums up to 43% above standard compensation levels.

The demand spans industries as companies integrate artificial intelligence into operations for task automation, data analysis, and product development. Employers increasingly seek workers capable of practical AI application rather than advanced technical programming skills.

The platform will allow employers to describe requirements in natural language, with AI systems identifying candidates who demonstrate relevant capabilities through portfolio work and practical experience. This approach differs from traditional keyword-based matching systems used by existing job platforms.

OpenAI’s system aims to surface candidates based on actual project experience and demonstrated competencies rather than resume optimization techniques commonly used on current platforms, the company said.
