With record wage growth reported in the job market, an exclusive new survey of 4,000 UK workers from the UK’s leading independent job board CV-Library reveals that 42.7% of job seekers fully intend to use ChatGPT to further bolster their next job search.  

Digging down into the exact ways they intend to use the tool, the results were as follows*:

Lee Biggins, Founder and CEO of CV-Library said 

“AI has already revolutionized many of the fundamental aspects of recruitment, automating and streamlining processes, such as CV screening, candidate selection, and even interviewing. It’s both expected and understandable that candidates will also take the opportunity to use the tool.”  

Biggins continues “Concerns over inflating CV content are valid but, if regulation is put in place and it’s used correctly, ChatGPT can help candidates create a powerful CV that stands out in the hiring process and helps secure an interview.”
