Head of Product at LinkedIn
About Sarah Cahill
In 2021, Sarah Cahill led the redesign of LinkedIn’s Jobs algorithm to prioritize equity, introducing bias-detection layers that reduced gender-skewed job recommendations by 37% across engineering and finance verticals. She didn’t treat 'engagement' as a vanity metric but as a proxy for professional agency: every feature she greenlit, from Skills Path to Recruiter Lite, was stress-tested against real-world outcomes like promotion velocity and cross-industry mobility. Her product philosophy centers on constraint-driven innovation: launching the 'Open Candidates' toggle only after validating it with 12,000 users who’d opted out of traditional job alerts for six months. Cahill insists product decisions must survive scrutiny from both Fortune 500 CHROs and community college career counselors, so her roadmap includes embedded labor-market dashboards that translate BLS data into actionable upskilling prompts. She’s spoken publicly about rejecting AI-first roadmaps unless they first pass a 'human workflow audit', meaning no feature ships without documented proof it saves professionals at least 11 minutes per week on high-stakes tasks.
