""We're seeing a surge in application volume, largely fueled by AI tools that make it easier than ever to apply and tailor résumés at scale," Josh Millet, the cofounder and CEO of Criteria, tells Fortune. "The result is that hiring teams are spending more time reviewing applications, but getting less meaningful signals from each one.""
""The résumé, once the benchmark of a job application, is now becoming a 'weaker signal' because it can be easily generated by AI. As more people highly tailor their résumé with AI tools, it then becomes harder to differentiate the frontrunner in a pool of polished applications.""
""Recruiters are inundated, screening methods are less reliable, and communication suffers. In many ways, ghosting is less about intent and more about a hiring process that hasn't adapted to the current landscape.""
Job seekers are increasingly facing ghosting from employers, with 53% reporting this experience in the last year, a peak in three years. The rise in ghosting is attributed to an overwhelming hiring process that is becoming less effective. The surge in application volume, driven by AI tools, complicates the hiring process as hiring teams struggle to find meaningful signals in applications. Resumes, once a key indicator, are now less reliable due to AI-generated tailoring, leading to communication breakdowns and unresponsive employers.
