Really interesting article published in The Financial Times recently highlighting industry concerns over the use of AI in CV creation. But is it really that big an issue? Ai is still in its infancy, but we can be sure it will evolve and its here to stay. Regarding its use in crafting CVs, haven't candidates been utilising services like CV ghost-writing services since the mid 90's? Possibly longer. Surely the skill a human recruiter brings, whether they are internal recruiters, HR professionals or external recruitment providers is the ability to 'spot' when a CV has been entirely generated by AI, rather than simply using AI as a tool to check spelling or grammar. Typical indicators of AI-generated CVs can include Americanised spellings (in the UK) and bland, impersonal language. However, you could argue these characteristics can also appear in CVs created by professional CV writers. Our view is that the recent increase in AI-assisted CVs is nothing more than a natural and more accessible evolution of traditional CV writing service. It's likely the trend that will continue. Lets not forget, you don't hire a CV. A CV is merely a sales document of sorts, crafted to get an interview. It may be that users of automated application sifting software are having nightmares about AI beating the filters? At ESSRecruit, we have never, and will never used such tools. We hold true to our values and ethics and believe that recruiters true value and skill remains in their ability to assess a person / candidates hard and soft skills in line with the assignment. This can only be done in person as part of an interview process. Something that AI cannot influence (For now anyway...!) At ESSRecruit, our recruitment team is fully Recruitment & Employment Conferderation (REC) accredited and committed to finding and presenting the ideal candidate for your vacancy. With our highly skilled and experienced team, we have always gone beyond the content of a CV to gain a deep understanding of each candidate we work with. That is a value we will never compromise.

This reflects what we are seeing in our day to day business- there remains a desire to grow and improve workforces, however, until the budget is announced tomorrow, many companies are feeling uncertain financially, thus are reticent to commit to investment.
