OpenAI, the company behind the ChatGPT model, has announced the launch of an AI-powered hiring platform, OpenAI Jobs Platform, set to debut by mid-2026. The platform aims to connect businesses with job seekers who possess artificial intelligence (AI) skills, facilitating the deployment of AI across various sectors. Additionally, OpenAI will introduce a certification program to equip workers with essential AI skills, with a goal of certifying 10 million Americans by 2030 [1].The initiative was unveiled alongside the launch of GPT-5, a significant upgrade to OpenAI's language models. The platform will leverage AI to match job seekers with available positions, while the certification program will cover various levels of AI fluency, from basic usage to advanced prompt engineering [2].
Walmart Inc., the largest private employer in the US, is one of the launch partners for this initiative. Walmart aims to provide its associates with hands-on experience with AI tools, positioning them as leaders in the future of retail. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, believes that GPT-5 marks a significant step toward achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) [2].
OpenAI's efforts to expand economic opportunity by helping people build in-demand AI skills align with its broader mission to democratize AI. The company plans to collaborate with major employers, including Walmart, to achieve this goal [2].
The OpenAI Jobs Platform and certification program position OpenAI as a direct competitor to LinkedIn, offering a unique value proposition by focusing on AI skills and certifications. This initiative is expected to have a significant impact on the job market, particularly in sectors where AI expertise is increasingly valuable [1].
