You are reviewing applications and are initially impressed by how perfect they look until you realize that they all sound the same. That’s when it dawns on you that most of them are AI-generated.

Here’s what’s really happening

AI has made it very easy for candidates to apply for jobs.

• Many candidates are blindly using AI tools to polish their applications and mirror your job post word-for-word — even when they’re unqualified for the role.
• Others are carelessly using AI auto-apply tools to apply to hundreds of jobs, even while asleep, without reading a single job post.

Now, if you are hiring using a traditional ATS system, you may realize that most of them rely on keyword matching to rank candidates. But since AI-written applications are optimized for those exact keywords, it becomes a pointless cycle of AI judging AI, which creates zero real value for anyone involved.

Due to the careless use of AI in applying for jobs, you may waste hours sifting through polished but fake applications, while the truly qualified candidates who don’t cut such corners get buried in the noise. And if you’re not careful, you might end up hiring someone who looks perfect on paper but can’t actually deliver once they’re on the job.

So, how do you deal with it?

The solution is to use a screening system that cuts through the noise and helps you focus only on the best candidates. That’s where Workscreen comes in.
