An employer says she caught a job seeker applying for a role with a ChatGPT cover letter, but it lacked personal information and cost them the job.
that although some AI-generated letters could pass for real candidates, they tended to lack personality.
However, job seekers may soon be deterred from using the technology. Robert Boersma, vice president of operations at Talent.com, said the letters are already becoming easier to spot. "If your cover letter is using technical words, broad statements that lack depth and personality, is structurally sound but lacks minute details, it's highly likely that the recruiter will be able to tell that it is an AI-generated cover letter," he said.
As AI platforms gain popularity, there is also an increased likelihood of candidates generating letters with the same structures, Boersma said. Recruiters can easily use tools that check for the presence of AI and candidates who are caught out risk losing the job over a perceived lack of effort, he added.
Candidates also run the risk of misrepresenting themselves if they rely too heavily on AI."As these tools draft responses based on provided information it is possible that generated text aligns with the job description but not with your personal values and beliefs," Boersma said."Make sure you pull in your own personal information," she said."You need to proofread it and you need to use it as a starting ground, you can't just copy and paste it.
