View in Recruiter

You can compose unique, personalized InMails using AI assistance in LinkedIn Recruiter.

The AI-Assisted Messages feature generates message drafts based on candidate details and job context. You can customize language, tone, and included elements before sending, and candidates won’t be notified that the message was drafted using AI. Drafting an AI-assisted message saves you time, enhances message personalization, and helps you connect with candidates more effectively.

If the auto-drafting setting is turned on in the account license settings or in the company level settings, the message will automatically be drafted when you open the Compose Message window. If you don’t have auto-drafting turned on, you can choose when to draft an initial message or follow-up using AI assistance by selecting draft with AI directly in the body of the message.

Here's a tip

If you change the message language in a 1:1 conversation, the draft regenerates immediately in the new language and remembers your choice until you send or close the composer. If the custom company element is turned on, it’s only included when the language is regenerated to English.

To send an AI-assisted message:

  1. Click the  Compose icon on a candidate's profile.

  2. In the Compose Message window, click draft with AI in the message body.

    • Alternatively, click the Search for a template… field and select Draft with AI.

  3. Review the AI-generated draft. If you want a new version, click the  Refresh icon at the bottom of the message to regenerate the draft.

  4. Click the  Draft settings icon and select any of the following options to customize your message.

    • Adjust the message length and tone (available for English messages only).
    • Change the message language using the Message language dropdown.
    • Select or deselect elements to include in the message.
    • Add custom content. Click the  Add icon next to Company info and add information about your company, such as company benefits. Add a title and click Save.

  5. Click Draft again to redraft the message with your settings.

  6. Optional: Add a follow-up message. By default, follow-up messages are sent 7 days after the initial message if the candidate didn’t reply to your initial message.

    • Click Follow-up, then click draft with AI in the message body. 
    • Click the  Draft settings icon at the bottom of the follow-up message to adjust the message length and tone.
    • Click Advanced settings to customize the content included in the follow-up message.

  7. Review and edit the message draft if needed.

  8. Click Send to deliver the initial InMail and schedule the follow-up message.
