[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To what extent is AI changing the hiring landscape? To what extent are employers using it to screen? To what extent can candidates maximize chances given that? [/quote]

Good question. Let’s take it from the candidate perspective first. Most recruiting platforms - we call them ATS’s Applicant Tracking Systems - do have an AI function that can screen out candidates if they don’t have the right experience education or target skills. (Hence it is really important now more than ever to customize your resume for the postings you apply to!). Even with AI though I scan any resume I want to put in front of a hiring manager. There is still a human on the other side of the application. Now, if you didn’t customize, aren’t the right skills match, and you’re stretching for a role? Yep you will likely fall out of the process either by AI or by me screening with a filter. If I say I want Salesforce background, your resume better have Salesforce (not just CRM Systems) on it.

Now let’s take it from AI generated applications - as a recruiter they are horrible and a total time suck. Because the resume will pass the filters and I’m looking at the resume and it’s Too Good. Like too much of a match. My hiring managers are also onto this. Obviously we reject the resume but it has wasted our time. Here’s the catch though - if your resume is poorly formatted (because most AI generated resumes don’t have the XTRAAAA formatting that many professionals use) I think - this is AI, or I’m not sure if this is AI or a person, guess what - I’m rejecting your resume.
