Open LinkedIn today and you’ll notice something strange. Every candidate suddenly looks like a high-performing strategist, a visionary problem solver, and a polished executive. But here’s the catch: most of those resumes are not written by humans at all.

According to the AI & Hiring Trends 2025 report, 91% of employers now use artificial intelligence to handle everything from resume screening to interview scheduling (Resume Now, 2025). That means the same technology reshaping jobs is now rewriting how candidates get them.

So the big question is this: are we hiring people for their skills, or for their ability to write clever AI prompts?

Here’s the kicker:

  • Employers are rejecting resumes that feel too generic or automated.

  • Candidates with limited experience can appear like senior leaders.

  • Recruiters must work harder to separate genuine expertise from AI polish.

  • Job seekers who ignore AI tools risk being left behind.

  • The real competition is shifting from clean formatting to strategic prompting.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI is no longer a hiring accessory. It is the default.

  • “Perfect” resumes may be signals of prompt mastery, not ability.

  • Recruiters are sharpening their tools to detect AI-crafted text.

  • Real, proven achievements still stand out above buzzwords.

  • The future belongs to candidates who blend authenticity with smart tech use.
