- Many applicants admit that the AI CV ornaments would not correct, even if they knew they were false
- Recruiters now face polished and manufactured applications that can barely differentiate from genuine presentations
- HISCOX says that the CV generated by ia are often perfect, but exaggerated mask skills and completely manufactured interests
Artificial intelligence is now a common presence in the contracting pipe, not only for employers, but also more and more for applicants.
A recent campaign of the Specialized HISCOX insurer has drawn attention to how Employment Applicants using AI, often without transparency and, in many cases, with significant ornaments.
The report indicates that 53% of recent employment applicants have used artificial intelligence tools to help write their CV. Surprisingly for some, most of them do not consider this trap.
CV generated by AI are causing recruiters problems
The CV generated by the often seem perfect at first sight, which represents what Hiscox calls the “perfect candidate.” But under the polished language there are CVS plagued by exaggerated experience and manufactured interests, raising serious questions about the reliability of applications assisted by AI.
Campaign data reveal that 59% of employment applicants believe that using AI tools during the application process is a “fair game”, while 37% admit that they would not correct the ornaments generated by AI.
Pete Treloar, HISCOX UK Subscription Director, simply expressed it: “AI can help many candidates give their best foot forward … but should be used carefully.”
The recruiters now face a challenging landscape. The CVs generated by Ia are often indistinguishable from genuine, professionally polished, but lack specific experience or authentic personality.
And it’s not just about CV. The candidates are also using AI to prepare for interviews (29%) and complete online evaluations (45%). It is not surprising that hiring managers are not increasingly sure if they are selecting the candidate or algorithm.
These trends raise questions for platforms such as CV builders and work sites, particularly as candidates rely more on automation to prepare their applications.
Despite the growing use of AI, not all applicants support the trend. Hiscox’s findings show that 41% believe that it gives some candidates an unfair advantage, while 42% say they are misleading for employers.
However, the reality is that we are moving towards a future in which AI in hiring is not only accepted, but expected. That is an important challenge for recruitment solutions with fair and effective hiring practices.
Hiscox also discovered that 38% of applicants admit to lie in their CVS, and the AI is only facilitating.
As Treloar concluded: “If they [recruiters] They are transmitting incorrect information or bad recommendations to their customers, not only damages relationships, but can lead to more serious statements, and that is why insurance is so important. “
