SOFIA,
Bulgaria, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New
research reveals male candidates are significantly more likely to
augment their job search with AI.
Enhancv surveyed 600 job seekers and analyzed 26,192
user-generated resumes to assess the adoption of AI and opinions on
its use.
Key findings:
- Men are 81% more likely than women to use AI to
complete recruitment tasks.
- Men are 34% more likely than women to use AI to
answer interview questions.
- Men are 23% more likely than women to be
comfortable using AI during a job search.
Men are 35% more likely than women to use AI to write their
resume
Overall, 49% of survey respondents admitted to using AI
to write their resume. However, men were more likely than women to
do so. 61% of men said they'd used AI to write their resume
compared to 45% of women.
Enhancv's Executive Coach, Silvia
Angeloro, believes traditional gender divisions are at
play.
"I believe a significant reason for this disparity is that, on
average, men tend to have fewer responsibilities related to
childcare and household chores. This allows them to focus more on
their careers and excel in areas such as leveraging AI for job
applications, statistically more than women."
Men are 23% more likely than women to be comfortable using AI
during a job search
74% of men said they were either comfortable or very
comfortable using AI vs. 60% of women
Men and women are equally likely to consider using AI during
a job search as ethical
81% of men and 80% of women believe it's
ethical for job seekers to use AI.
Angeloro agrees that AI is ethical and indeed useful to the job
search process, but with caveats:
"Even after using AI, review and personalize your application to
ensure it reflects your unique qualities. The goal is to showcase
your fit for the role and let your individuality stand out."
