You spend hours dealing with candidates who sound perfect on paper, only to realize they can’t actually do the job. By the time you find a serious, qualified applicant, weeks have passed, leaving you exhausted, overwhelmed, and drained by the process. If this sounds familiar, this post is for you.

Let’s first look at why you are experiencing this

AI has made it very easy for candidates to fake qualifications they don’t have.

• Some candidates are blindly using AI tools to polish their applications and mirror your job post word-for-word to cheat the system.
• Others are carelessly using AI auto apply tools to apply to hundreds of jobs without reading a single job post, flooding you with spam.

If you are using traditional ATSs, it could be the reason you are overwhelmed with unqualified candidates, since most of them do not filter them out up front. Instead, they rely on keyword matching to score and rank applicants. But candidates are already using AI to polish resumes for those keywords. It ends up as AI judging AI, creating zero real value for everyone involved.

As a result, you risk making bad hires.

So, what should you do?

• Screen for performance

What matters most is screening for performance, not polish, and that’s exactly what Workscreen helps you do. It screens for performance and automatically filters out unqualified candidates. It also gives you a shortlist of serious, qualified applicants, saving you hours and helping you hire faster.
