Sending in lots of applications/resumes with automation already describes probably the worst way to find a job. Adding more chaff to the already overflowing candidate funnel will make the process worse for everyone.
Also, this tool does not send in any applications, it only creates a resume, each applicant still needs to download the resume and apply by themselves.
There’s a perfect saas solution waiting to be built
I expect that companies that have systems that can (supposedly) detect AI-generated applications, resumes, and cover letters will reject those without acknowledgment. The false positives will spawn a new wave of "Why do companies ghost me?" posts here and on Reddit et al.
I work for a company that uses a service to detect plagiarism, and that service got updated about two years ago to detect AI-generated content. How well that works doesn't really matter, because the person submitting the document that got flagged stands guilty until they prove their innocence.
Whether these systems/services can reliably detect AI-generated content or not doesn't matter. It makes little difference to the employer if they lose a few real applicants along the way -- collateral damage. Like I wrote before it just becomes an arms race, with the people genuinely trying to get a job losing. Job hunting turns into a race to the bottom, one set of bots sending spam to another set of bots trying to weed through it. Sending lots of applications and resumes out in hopes of getting a bite already describes one of the worst ways to get a job, and it just gets worse.
BTW, this tool does not mass apply or create fake resumes, what it does is to use your data to create a resume that gives you a fighting chance against ATS systems.
I don't agree about escalating the arms race. To get a fighting chance against ATS systems you need to go around those systems, not try to trick them or get some small percentage of resumes through them. Like I wrote already, applying for jobs with online applications and sending in resumes in response to online posts -- whether tailored by AI or not -- describes a terrible strategy for getting a job. You can optimize a bad strategy and try to outsmart the ATS systems, or try a better strategy.
Thanks for checking out ResumeSet.
I have a... lengthy job history :-) Which is also the reason why I'm interested in your solution. 60% of what I've done isn't relevant to most jobs I apply to, so filtering that out or compressing it to a few sentences would be fantastic.
Maybe I'll give it a second try this weekend.
