The Talent Cloud company, iCIMS, released its “Class of 2023” report, which analyzes college graduates’ career expectations and compares them to those of HR professionals and employers.

Out of the 1,000 U.S. college seniors surveyed, nearly half (47%) said they were interested in using AI chatbots to write their resumes or cover letters, and 25% of Gen Z said they had already used AI for those purposes.
“Generative AI bots (like ChatGPT) have the potential to help both candidates and employers be more productive and communicate better,” says Al Smith, chief technology officer, iCIMS in the report.
However, nearly 40% of the 500 HR professionals surveyed said that the use of AI on job applications would be a definite dealbreaker.
