The consequences of the arrival of artificial intelligence are beginning to be felt. This technology is one of the causes of the disappearance of more than 1.17 million jobs in the United States alone during the last year.
AI is changing the job market forever. Job candidates are required to optimize their resume so that it can be read by artificial intelligence; humans have taken a backseat.
The collapse of the industry in the age of AI

The transformation is occurring even faster than the experts themselves had calculated. AI assistants are responsible for reviewing resumes in a matter of seconds.
An analysis prepared by Fortune confirms that AI already rejects 75% of resumes in job interviews. The candidates They must pass the assistant’s screening with a CV designed by and for these tools. Those are the new rules for finding a job with AI.
AI begins to integrate into the industry
Labor market experts are divided since the arrival of AI. Some confirm that productivity has skyrocketed, they have also saved costs by dispensing with humans, others see artificial intelligence as an obstacle.
Companies around the world are restructuring their teams and redesigning hiring processes based on decisions made by AI. This ends up influencing the most in-demand skills.
McKinsey reports that AI proficiency requirements among applicants have increased sevenfold in the last two years. Workers must demonstrate that they could use AI-powered tools when the time comes through a short resume and cover letter.
All this is even more complicated when the machine itself evaluates the candidates. Engineer Charlie Cheng has even created a digital twin that handles recruiting tasks.
Candidates can go through different phases of the hiring process without speaking to a human. Cheng confirms that the digital twin can analyze social media profiles, LinkedIn history, portfolios and any online trace long before a recruiter reads the resume.
