Recruiters can tell when you use AI in your job applications. When it's not done well, it can tank your chances of getting hired.With the rise of AI-powered writing assistants, typing up your job application can be quicker than ever. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, for example, is a chatbot powered by machine learning that can write out detailed resumes and cover letters in less than five minutes with the prompts you give it. But if you are doing this, know that recruiters can tell. “Easily 25% of apps appear to be AI-generated,” said Bonnie Dilber,a recruiting manager with app-automation company Zapier. And these blatant examples do not leave a winning impression on recruiters.
