AI-generated job applications are becoming prevalent, with an estimated 25% of applications appearing AI-generated. Recruiters can easily identify these due to generic language, lack of personal details, and overuse of buzzwords. Common issues include robotic tone, formulaic templates, and failure to edit AI-generated text. Recruiters advise using AI tools only as a starting point, emphasising personalisation with specific experiences and targeted information. Quality over quantity is recommended when submitting job applications.
