Hirers Use AI to Screen Candidates…Why Shouldn’t You Use It in Your Applications?

Happy weekend eve, Impact Jobbers! Before you clock out, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite subject: AI.

If you Google, “should I use AI to write my job applications,”…you’re going to get an AI-generated answer that says YES OF COURSE YOU SHOULD YOU STUPID HUMAN.

Okay, not really, but there are a ton of AI tools at your fingertips that could make the job application process easier and more efficient…so should you use them?

According to a report by TopResume, hiring teams use AI to screen candidates, and yet some of them say they’ll reject AI-written applications. Hmm.

Here are the key findings:

• 1 in 5 recruiters would reject a candidate who submitted an AI application

• Over a third of hiring managers can spot AI-written application materials within 20 seconds

• 14.5% of hiring managers think applicants shouldn’t use AI at all

You can read the full report linked above for more stats that show how hirers really feel about applicants using AI. But we’ll save you some time…they don’t like it.

So YEAH, it’s a big ol’ double standard, but guess what? You gotta suck it up. AI tools may help you crank out more job interviews than before, but hirers still want to see the human behind the resume.

We’re not saying you should never use AI to help you land a job, but there’s a right and wrong way to do it. That’s what we’re diving into over the next few weeks.

Ready to get into the weeds of using AI in the job application process? Join us back here next week.

Until then, scroll down to get to applying, but don’t let AI write your cover letters for you.
