Beat the AI Filter: How to Get your CV seen by Recruiters in the AI Age
It’s undeniable that AI has - for better or worse - already had a huge impact on the software industry, from its practical applications at the technology level, to the changing demand from skills and experience, to the layoffs linked to AI processes taking over. One area we haven’t really talked about in our articles yet is recruitment: it’s no secret that AI is being used to scan CVs and automatically filter candidates. Several of my developer friends have been talking about this recently, and with a slew of layoffs in tech sending a lot of IT folks on the hunt for new jobs, I thought this would be the perfect time to dive into how AI is being used to filter candidates, and what you can do to stand out and get past the filters. Forbes estimates that 65% of employers will use AI tools to reject candidates in 2025. That’s a staggeringly high number, but for folks who work in hiring or are currently job hunting it’s not a surprising one. The article offers a further breakdown of how employers plan to use–or are already using–AI in their hiring process.
