LinkedIn — Job Recommendation Redesign

The Insight

LinkedIn's job recommendations often feel generic, lacking transparency about why a role was suggested. Job seekers struggle to understand recommendation signals, leading to low engagement with suggested roles.

My Approach

• ▸Analyzed the existing recommendation feed to identify patterns in low-engagement suggestions
• ▸Studied competitor approaches to explainable recommendations
• ▸Designed a transparent recommendation framework showing match signals

What Was Built

• ▸Redesigned job recommendation cards with explainability layers
• ▸Added match-reason tags showing why each role was recommended
• ▸Proposed feedback loops to improve future recommendations

The Outcome

• ✓Comprehensive product teardown with actionable redesign proposals
• ✓Framework for transparent, explainable job recommendations
