Sure, I Work With AI. We’re Great Friends.
Fudging facts and figures on a résumé usually doesn’t end well. But according to a new survey, nearly half of job candidates overstate their experience with AI tools. Korn Ferry investigates how companies’ lack of understanding of the new technology is making it hard for them to know which candidates are best. Plus, there are more job openings now than there were before the pandemic, but a majority of people say they feel the overall job market is bad. The latest Briefings Podcast episode dives into what job seekers can do to get a great new gig in this unusual environment.?
Fudging AI Skills: A New Résumé Tactic?
Fudging information on résumés certainly isn’t new, but a surprisingly large number of job candidates may be taking it too far with their claims about how well they can handle today’s hot new technology.
A recent survey of job applicants by Resume Builder showed that?nearly half of recent job seekers exaggerated their AI skills—and that this approach appeared to be working: A majority of the fibbers were hired, the survey found, although 10% were later fired.?
Paying to End the Return-to-Office Debate
To get remote workers back to the office, leaders have tried wowing them with new office furniture, enticing them with free lunches, or, on the flip side, threatening them with firings or lower bonuses. ?
Now those remote workers say that one incentive will get them to come back: more money. Among hybrid workers, 55% would consider higher pay for increased in-person work a big inducement, according to a new survey from the University of Chicago. Forty-four percent of full-time remote employees feel the same.

11 个月Yes but it’s also worse when a company puts down 10 years experience required for a computer program that’s only existed since 2022.
There are more job openings, true, but AI disregards far too many qualified candidates by rejecting resumes before a real live human recruiter gets to see them. And the resumes are put on hold for months without giving a candidate the opportunity to reapply if the position is reposted. I'm not a fan of AI for a split second. It think it's damaging to the people. Candidates can only rewrite their resume so many times. Applying for a position can take up to 2 hours to rewrite their resume to match a job description & requirements, write a company based cover letter, fill out the lengthy online application process, and then get a rejection letter 2 hours later by AI because one or two keywords aren't included. Nightmare. It's doing a lot of damage to the mentality of candidates. Just ask them.
