Sarah Wrightson: CVs by Sarah director on the rise of AI in the job recruitment process
from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB
The rise in AI has seen demand for professionally written CVs in a bid to stand out against algorithms.

CVs by Sarah director Sarah Wrightson says the screening software rules out applicants before a human gets a chance to look at their CVs, and it results in qualified applicants getting filtered out. "I've had clients come to me saying that they've applied for 80 jobs and heard nothing back - and often, they've actually got really solid experience. The software's looking for alignment and clarity, humans read context, the software doesn't." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
