In an era where companies use AI tools to screen job applications and resumes, one man turned the tables by creating an AI tool to apply for jobs, securing over 50 interview calls.

In a Reddit post, he claimed to have secured around 50 interviews within a month after he created a bot that analyzes candidate information, examines job descriptions, generates unique resumes and cover letters for each job, answers specific questions that recruiters ask, and automatically applies to jobs.

At a time when recruiters increasingly rely on automated screening systems, he asserted that his AI tool allows job seekers to optimize their CVs in seconds, match skills with job offers, craft compelling cover letters, and apply for over 1,000 jobs efficiently.

He added that his AI script boosted the chances of getting noticed by both AI and human recruiters, as it was highly effective at bypassing automated screening systems.

Are human recruiters becoming obsolete?

While detailing the recent trends of using AI tools in screening CVs and resumes, the Reddit user flagged that the recruiting industry might be entering into an “AI arms race,” that would make human recruiters obsolete, leaving the question of whether real talent would be discovered in a sea of perfectly made AI generated job applications.

Observing the AI-driven technological revolution, he reflected on the implications for the world of work. He said that while the automation of job applications is efficient and successful, it also raises a paradox of losing the human element that often makes a difference in a work environment.

He asserted that humane factors including empathy, creativity, and critical thinking would be the distinguishing factors in the world of professional work and professional relationships.

While he had provided the Git-Hub links to access the AI-based job application tool that he had kept completely free and open source, the project, the project does not work anymore.
