With record wage growth reported in the job market, an exclusive new survey of 4,000 UK workers from the UK’s leading independent job board CV-Library reveals that 42.7 per cent of job seekers fully intend to use ChatGPT to further bolster their next job search.
Digging down into the exact ways they intend to use the tool, the results were:
- 6 per cent To explore which roles would match my skills
- 6 per cent To help write my CV
- 37 per cent To help write my cover letter
- 2 per cent To get a better understanding of the role I’m applying for
- 2 per cent To help with possible interview responses
- 9 per cent All of the above
An overwhelming 71 per cent aren’t worried that ChatGPT might overstate their abilities and 63 per cent don’t feel that using the tool would be misleading potential employers.
“AI has already revolutionised many of the fundamental aspects of recruitment, automating and streamlining processes, such as CV screening, candidate selection, and even interviewing. It’s both expected and understandable that candidates will also take the opportunity to use the tool,” said Lee Biggins, founder and CEO of CV-Library. ”Concerns over inflating CV content are valid but, if regulation is put in place and it’s used correctly, ChatGPT can help candidates create a powerful CV that stands out in the hiring process and helps secure an interview.”
