Jobhunters Flood Recruiters with AI-Generated CVs

• About half of all job seekers are using AI tools to apply for roles, overwhelming employers with low-quality applications.
• Generative AI, like ChatGPT, is being used to write CVs, cover letters, and complete assessments, leading to a higher volume of applications.
• Recruiters report that AI-generated applications are often easy to detect due to generic language and American grammar.
• Many large employers, including the Big Four accountants, have a zero-tolerance policy towards AI use in applications.
• Surveys indicate that a significant number of job seekers, especially younger ones, are using AI to cheat on recruitment assessments.
