AI overwhelms job recruitment process
Job hunting looks very different these days, thanks to AI tools making it super easy to send out tons of applications.
Recruiters are seeing a 45% spike in applicants, with some roles—like one HR consultant Katie Tanner posted on LinkedIn—getting over 1,200 applications in a few days.
It's become way harder for companies to spot real talent in this flood.
Recruiters are now drowning in applications
With so many resumes looking nearly identical (hello, ChatGPT and keyword hacks), recruiters are calling it an "applicant tsunami."
To keep up, companies are turning to automated interviews and even chatbots that can cut hiring time by 75%.
But now candidates are using their own AI tricks to get ahead, and fake identities are on the rise too.
Experts say better ID checks are needed just to keep things fair.
