Although some experts warn that this technology could replace hundreds of office jobs, there is another way that AI could affect job applicants.
Artificial intelligence, and especially the tools that are based on it, such as ChatGPT, have made things easier for us in some aspects of our personal and professional lives.
Experts say that this technology will end hundreds of jobs, since its functions can easily replace some activities that humans do, especially in office work.
However, there is another way that artificial intelligence could put many candidates looking for a job opportunity out of a job. They may even be left out of job interviews much earlier than anticipated.
There is a growing trend in which people, especially young people, come to ChatGPT to write their resume or cover letter. An activity that HR professionals totally reject.
The influence of AI in the job search: help or barrier for candidates?
An investigation reveals that employers don’t trust candidates who turn to AI tools or chatbots to help them through the application process. In this way, they are discarded immediately, but many of them are not detected and are subsequently hired.
47% of college seniors are interested in using AI bots to write their resumes, while 25% of graduates have already done so, taking the first step in pitching to recruiters.
HR professionals disagree with this practicebut at the moment it is difficult to easily detect candidates who use technology to get jobs.
It’s pretty much a given that many applicants will continue to use ChatGPT to save time undetected in interviews. However, this activity will increase over the next few years until it becomes a habit that companies will ignore.
AI can be useful not only in creating resumes, but also in the job search, as well as in the hiring process. There are platforms that use technology to offer personalized job recommendations based on your profile, skills and preferences.
While these tools can be helpful in the recruitment process, does not replace the importance of interpersonal skills, work experience and other aspects that recruiters consider when selecting a candidate.
