Why 90% of Your Applicants Are Unqualified (And How to Fix It Fast)

Share

Going through numerous applications only to realize that almost all of them are unqualified is very frustrating. Such candidates not only waste your time but also drain your energy and slow down your hiring process. If this sounds familiar, this post is for you.

This happens because AI has made it easy to fake qualifications

  • Some applicants nowadays carelessly use AI tools to polish their applications and mirror your job post word-for-word, even when they are unqualified. They do this to game the system.
  • Others are blindly using AI auto apply tools that apply to hundreds of jobs on their behalf without them reading a single job post. It’s impossible for such applicants to be qualified for diverse roles.

Now, if you are hiring using a traditional ATS platform, you may have realized that most of them rely on keyword matching to score and rank applicants — but candidates are already using AI to polish applications for those keywords. It ends up as AI judging AI, creating zero real value for everyone involved. You, therefore, waste hours reviewing “perfect” applications from unqualified people, while genuine candidates get buried in the noise.
