- Many applicants acknowledged that they would not fix AI CV ornaments even if they knew they were wrong
- Recruiters now face polished, fabricated applications that they can barely distinguish from real submissions.
- Hess Cox says e-generated CV often looks flawless, but mask exaggerated skills and fully fabricated interests
Artificial intelligence is now a common presence in the serving pipeline, not only for employers, but also for applicants.
A recent campaign by expert insurance company Hussein Cox has drawn attention to how AI is being used by job seekers, often without transparency and, in many cases, with important ornaments.
The report states that 53 % of the recent job applicants have used AI tools to help write their CV. Surprisingly, for some people, most of them do not consider this fraud.
AI-generation-driven CVS recruits are a cause for trouble
AI-Infield CV often appears flawless at first glance, represented by Hess Cox as the “perfect candidate”. But lying under the polished language, the CV, who was lying under the polished language, was exposed to exaggerated experience and fabricated interests, raising serious questions about the reliability of AIS -affiliated applications.
The campaign data shows that 59 % of the job seekers believe that the use of AI tools during the application process is a “fair game”, while 37 % admit that they will not correct AI generated ornaments.
Hess Cox UK Chief Underwriting Officer Pete Trailer said in a straightforward word: “AI can help many candidates advance their best foot … but it needs to be used carefully.”
Recruiters now face a challenging landscape. AI -generation CVs are often not separated from real individuals – professional polish, nevertheless, specific experience or lack of authentic personality.
And it’s not just about CV. Candidates are also using AI for the preparation of interviews (29 %) and full online diagnosis (45 %). It is not surprising that the services managers are not sure that they are choosing a candidate, or the algorithm.
These trends raise questions for platforms such as CV builders and job sites, especially when candidates get more heavily on automation to prepare their applications.
Despite the growing use of AI, not all applicants support the trend. The results of Hess Cox show that 41 % believe that it benefits some candidates unfairly, while 42 % say it is misleading for employers.
Still, the fact is that we are moving towards a future where AI is not only accepted, but is expected. This is a huge challenge for a solution to recruit with ways to get fair and efficient services.
Hess Cox also found that 38 % of the applicants admit to lying on their CV, and AI is just making it easier.
As the trailer concluded, “If they (recruiters) are transmitting their clients on false information or poor recommendations, not only has this relationship damage, but it may also have more serious claims, and that is why insurance is so important.”
