Going through hundreds of resumes not only causes fatigue but may also lead to poor hiring decisions in this AI era, since some of them are no longer genuine. You will soon realize that most resumes sound and look the same, and they often come from unqualified candidates.

Here is why!

Unlike in the past, when resumes represented a candidate’s true capabilities, today, reviewing resumes is not the most effective way to hire. This is because AI has made it very easy for candidates to fake qualifications on their resumes. This is what is happening:

• Candidates are nowadays blindly using AI tools to polish their resumes and mirror your job post word-for-word, even when they lack the qualifications you need, just to game the system.
• Others are carelessly using AI auto-apply tools to apply to hundreds of jobs even while they are asleep. This often leads to spam.

If you are not manually reviewing these resumes, you may be using a traditional ATS. But the problem with most of them is that they rely on keyword matching to score and rank applicants. On the other hand, candidates are already using AI to polish their resumes for those keywords. It ends up as AI judging AI, creating zero real value for everyone involved.

So, what should you do?

Instead of relying on resumes to evaluate candidates, you need a better screening system that goes beyond resumes. That is where Workscreen comes in. It helps you hire based on actual performance, not what a resume says, since a candidate can be paper-qualified but lack the skills you need.

Workscreen automatically filters out unqualified applicants before they get to you and gives you a shortlist of serious, qualified candidates to save you hours and help you hire faster. The screening process eliminates the resume overload so you can focus only on qualified applicants who truly matter.
