However, applicants must be careful not to disadvantage themselves with AI. Some employer systems are designed to weed out fully AI-generated applications, and human recruiters may be put off by submissions that appear generic. Candidates are also advised not to use AI in assessments or misrepresent their abilities in other ways. Despite the risks, recruiters stress that AI use is already widespread and that both sides need to be open to using technology.
Key takeaways:
- Top recruiters are encouraging jobseekers to use artificial intelligence tools to apply for roles, indicating a growing acceptance of the new technology among employers.
- Several big international recruitment companies have started offering AI tools to candidates to write CVs, draft cover letters and research job openings.
- AI tools are also being used to assess users’ fitness for jobs based on skills and experience, and to give feedback on resumes.
- However, applicants must strike a balance and ensure that AI-generated content fits their own experience and reflects their style, as some employer systems are designed to weed out fully AI-generated applications.
