In today's competitive job market, it's becoming increasingly important for applicants to stand out from the crowd. One recruitment agency, Robert Walters, is even suggesting that job seekers use AI technology to improve their resumes.
According to a recent study by Robert Walters Australia and New Zealand, there has been a 23% decrease in job ads across Australia, while the number of applications has increased by 8%. This trend is concerning for job seekers, as it means there is more competition for each job.
Robert Walters CEO Shay Peters explains, "The number of applications per job ad has seen the highest monthly increase in over a year." This data is supported by Seek, which reported an 18.6% decrease in job ads year on year, and an 8.6% increase in monthly applications.
In light of these statistics, Peters believes that utilizing AI technology can give job seekers an advantage. He says, "Now more than ever, it's imperative that you rethink how you can stand out from the crowd and utilizing AI can be a great starting point." In fact, 88% of the 500 recruitment consultants at Robert Walters agree that AI should be used in crafting a resume.
With 5000 monthly Google searches for "how to write a resume," it's clear that many job seekers are looking for help in this area. Peters notes, "Just as the workforce evolves, so must our approach to crafting exceptional resumes." He believes that incorporating AI into the resume-writing process can help candidates navigate the competitive job market with confidence and make a lasting impression.
Robert Walters suggests that AI can assist in various aspects of resume writing, such as creating a professional summary, identifying key skills for the job, and highlighting career achievements. It can also be useful for checking grammar and spelling.
However, Peters warns against relying solely on AI technology. "Every now and then, we come across resumes and cover letters that are clearly the product of AI," he says. "It's important to strike the right tone, and the only way to achieve this is by revising the content and infusing it with your own personal touch." While AI can be a helpful tool, it's important for job seekers to also put their own effort and personal touch into their resumes.
In the end, Peters believes that utilizing AI technology in the resume-writing process can enhance efficiency, but it should not be solely relied upon. He advises, "While AI can certainly enhance your efficiency, relying solely on it would be a misstep."
