UK recruiters move to face-to-face assessment amid increasing use of AI in recruitment applications
………………
UK recruiters are increasingly moving towards direct assessments as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in recruitment applications among graduates is rising sharply. First, plan to teach charities that graduate and teach roles, and accelerate the transition from written assignments to task-based assessments such as “microlesters” delivery, better assess candidate skills and reduce AI-assist submissions.
According to a survey by Bright Network, the number of graduates using AI in their applications has increased from 38% last year to 50% this year. Teach's Patrick Dempsey first thought of a surge in both the soft labor market and the ease of AI, allowing candidates to apply for multiple jobs at the same time. Although AI usage is often unnoticed, recruiters have found Telltail Signs, such as text copied from AI tools such as ChatGPT. Other agencies report tactics such as hidden keywords in CVS and bypass AI screening.
Despite the rise in AI, the research has reduced vacancies in graduate work by about 30%, increasing competition for entry-level roles. Experts agree that while AI has not yet dramatically disrupted the graduate job market, it is essential for future job seekers to adapt to the impact of AI. James Reed, CEO of Reed Group, stressed the need for universities to better prepare graduates in the AI-transformed job market.
