The reality HR is facing

More candidates are turning to AI for resumes, cover letters, and interview prep. Surveys in 2024–2025 show hiring teams are seeing a flood of applications and mixed quality, with many managers wary of AI-generated content.

38% of job seekers send 20 or more applications per week, and 54% of hiring managers say the surge slows hiring.

53% of hiring managers dislike AI-generated resumes. It's the top red flag in one recent survey.

Use AI to help, not to decide

Keep humans in the loop. Use AI to sort large volumes, then have trained people review the outputs. This aligns with the spirit of Ontario's 2026 disclosure rule and with what candidates say they want: transparency and human judgment.
