AI resume feedback for job seekers

Design an AI feature on LinkedIn that gives job seekers feedback on their resume for a specific job posting.

Context

Users worry about privacy and about AI making every resume sound the same. Recruiters dislike exaggerated claims.

Clarifying questions to ask first

• Free or premium?
• Does feedback rewrite text or suggest changes?

How to approach it

1. Start from the user problem, not the model: is AI the right tool here?
2. Describe the experience and where the model fits in it
3. Define what "good output" means and how you would evaluate it before and after launch
4. Name the failure modes (wrong answers, bias, privacy, cost) and how you contain them
5. Close with a launch plan and success metrics

Framework: User and problem -> Is AI the right tool? -> Experience design and human-in-the-loop -> Quality bar and evaluation -> Risks, cost and latency -> Staged launch and metrics

Sample answer

• Suggestions the user accepts, not auto-rewrites
• Never invent experience
• Tie to the job's requirements

1. Human-rated eval of suggestions for accuracy and helpfulness
2. Compare recruiter response rate for users who applied suggestions
3. Monitor fabricated-claim reports

Suggest, don't rewrite; ground suggestions in the user's real experience and the job's requirements. Measure recruiter response rate lift and keep fabricated claims near zero.
