# Weiheng(Andy) Qian > Design@LinkedIn Location: Bellevue, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/weihengandy As a Senior Product Designer at LinkedIn, I lead the design and strategy for messaging in our hiring platform, driving innovations that enhance recruiter-candidate engagement. Through features like AI-assisted messages and message automation, we achieved a 44% lift in InMail acceptance rates, 11% faster candidate responses, and 1.2 million automated messages sent per week.
