New graduates aren't afraid to use ChatGPT when applying for jobs — and some professionals aren't afraid to reject them for doing so.

Talent cloud company iCIMS just dropped its 8th annual "Class of" report(opens in a new tab), where it gathers information from college students and recent grads in order to help human resource departments "engage" with them. The class of 2023 is, understandably, unsure about the future, citing economic anxiety and shifting aspirations thanks to COVID.

The newly minted grads are also jumping on generative AI since ChatGPT's debut last December. According to the report, 47 percent of college seniors are interested in using ChatGPT or other AI bots to write their resumes or cover letter. Twenty-five percent of Gen Z have already used an AI bot to help write their resume or cover letter.

"Generative AI bots (like ChatGPT) have the potential to help both candidates and employers be more productive and communicate better," commented iCMIS Chief Technology Officer Al Smith, in the report. "From resumes and job descriptions to offer letters and onboarding material, the technology offers employers and recruiters a better starting point as they move through the hiring journey."

Job seekers who use generative AI should be careful, however: 39 percent of HR professionals said the use of AI tech during hiring is a dealbreaker.

With ChatGPT helping people land job interviews, it's no surprise that the class of 2023 wants to take advantage. Given that AI bots tend to make up information and can be made by shady developers, however, their best bet is to write their resumes and cover letters the old-fashioned way.

  1. So basically 39% recruiters are aren't open minded individuals. AI can't make up your experience... It only helps improve your resume text... For technical people that is very helpful. So those 39% I think that they will be left out if they can't adapt to this

  2. What a load of 💩 AI won’t make my experience as a therapist into a rocket scientist in my resume.

  3. Writing a resume is easy anyhow. The hard part is writing *cover letters*. (And the TEDIOUS part is retyping everything from your resume into the application form separately.)

  4. I saw use it as a reference not as the main document

  5. Of course, employers WILL use AI to cull applications rather than actually reading the resume/cover letter themselves...

    I guess it's not lazy when they do it? 🤔

  6. So use it to write your resume, then review it for factual content and errors.

  7. What a bunch of nonsense, like they can even tell. AI detecting software swears that the Constitution was generated by an AI, that tells you how ridiculous these concerns are.

  8. This article is click bait. It only outlines a claim and no examples of why or how they are dealbreakers

  9. If you need the AI to apply for the job for you, it stands to reason that you will try to have the Ai do your paid work for you too. Should the employer just hire the AI and cut out the middlemen?

  16. If anything, recruiters have caused this too happen. Writing a resume is now more about “playing the game” to get around automatic readers than representing your skills and experience. They can’t use their own AI and turn around and say “don’t use AI”

  20. Why? If it’s your resume who cares who wrote it! Real experience is real. If lying that’s the deal breaker

  22. We have already discussed this and how resumes are meaningless now and will have to simply prove yourself in an interview Too much fake everything

  23. HR professionals should be wary they are being replaced by AI "early 8,000 roles at IBM, including many HR functions, look set to be replaced by AI in the next few years, according to the firm’s chief."

    Who needs to pay someone to read a resume when AI can find the closest match in seconds.

  27. Why? If it does a good job (And it does) than why the hell not? Does HR think they understand better than AI what a resume should look like?

    ReplyDelete
  28. I mean if you are literally just copy-pasting things without modifying them then yeah, that's lazy and a big red flag LOL. Using it to help you refine it is much better idea.

    1. Very true. A resume isn't supposed to represent your writing abilities. It's supposed to represent your skills.

    2. The ability to write concisely and effectively IS a skill -- one that a surprisingly large number of people lack.

  35. Oh really, so they don't use artificial intelligence to help them filter and select between the pool of hundreds of applicants in their postings? None of them read all the CVs they receive, why should we spend our time manually tailoring every CV we make when in most cases we're not even getting a reply later? They're just being hypocrites.
