“Now people are warier of AI-created résumés than ever before,” Tim Manasseh, Korn Ferry’s senior partner, EMEA, for global consumer products, in the insight.
A Remote Recruiting Report revealed earlier this year that a quarter of employers are receiving more applicants than they can handle. In fact, the average time spent on sorting through irrelevant applications per role has reached 9.24 days.
The report further revealed that 73% of employers are receiving AI-generated résumés containing false information and 65% are seeing a surge in underqualified job candidates.
To address the problem, the Remote Recruiting Report revealed that around a quarter of HR leaders are utilising AI tools in the recruitment process to screen candidates.
“The key is not rejecting AI, but using it strategically — we’re seeing more teams leverage AI to streamline hiring, verify skills, and cut through the noise, ensuring they connect with the right talent efficiently,” said Job van der Voort, CEO and co-founder of Remote, in a previous statement.
