It\u2019s absolutely making it more difficult for recruiters.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ziff-davis-exco-video is-injected\" id=\"exco-video-block-6a8f59b70c2080e0a94dbf4e-1366418-4\" data-exco-video-id data-exco-playlist-id=\"6a8f59b70c2080e0a94dbf4e\" data-exco-video-title data-exco-video-src data-exco-video-duration=\"0\" data-exco-video-poster data-exco-suppress-ads=\"0\" data-exco-autoplay=\"0\" data-exco-sticky=\"1\">\n<p class=\"exco-video__eyebrow\">More from ZDNET<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/how-workers-use-ai-at-work-2026\/\">What workers are really using AI for in 2026 \u2013 and what they aren\u2019t<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The findings<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, Employ found that job seekers are using AI to help construct and refine their application materials and, in some cases, even to falsify them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More than one-quarter of surveyed organizations (27%) report confirmed AI-driven candidate fraud, up from 23% in 2025. Among teams that have encountered confirmed or suspected fraud, half estimate they have received more than 50 fraudulent applications. <\/p>\n<p>But the nationwide survey, which was conducted by Zogby Analytics on behalf of Employ in August 2026, revealed that outright fraud isn\u2019t even the biggest factor recruiters need to be aware of. Instead, it\u2019s AI polish: cover letters and resumes that read too eloquently, bullet points drafted to be oddly poignant, and application packages that feel too good to be true. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we have heard is that people do such a good job with prompting,\u201d Jao said. \u201cThe resumes are one thing that we\u2019ve heard\u2026&nbsp; are overly polished. They are so perfect, and they are literally identical.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/business\/ai-storage-demand-seagate-study\/\"><strong>Businesses finally seeing AI ROI, but 62% can\u2019t handle the storage demands<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While Jao said cases of outright AI candidate fraud are waning overall, AI tools entering the mainstream are making it much easier for candidates to (often unknowingly) misrepresent themselves and their skills, and to take away unique elements that set them apart from other candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just over a third of recruiters (33%) said AI-polished resumes are now their top stressor, overtaking a lack of qualified candidates, which had long held the top spot.&nbsp;That\u2019s a first in the Recruiter Nation report\u2019s 19-year history. For nearly two decades, recruiters worried most about a lack of a candidate pool. Now they\u2019re swimming in polished applications that make it hard to tell who\u2019s truly done the polishing \u2014 the candidate or an AI tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 survey included a larger share of respondents from small businesses than in 2025 (55% versus 32%), while the share from enterprise organizations decreased from 35% to 19%. Findings also include year-over-year comparisons <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.employinc.com\/rs\/659-JST-226\/images\/2025-Employ-Recruiter-Nation-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with 2025 data<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s important to note that fraud isn\u2019t the only element driving this year\u2019s data, as teams look for more ways to confirm <em>who<\/em> candidates are and what <em>they <\/em>can actually do, face-to-face interactions create more opportunities to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where AI helps recruiters<\/h2>\n<p>AI in the recruitment process isn\u2019t new. Many current HR systems already incorporate AI to help with recruitment tasks. In fact, 68% of recruiters use AI alongside their recruiting technology, and 66% said it has made their work easier.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s report found that recruiter stress is on a decline, and has been for two years. Just 36% said recruiting is more stressful than it was a year ago, down from 45% in 2025 and 54% in 2024. Recruiters tied investment in AI-powered recruiting technology to the ability to meet candidate expectations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/shadow-ai-tools-at-work-risks\/\">45% of professionals use shadow AI tools \u2013 here\u2019s how to manage the risks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jao said the data indicates that many organizations are looking to expand their AI use. Among businesses increasing recruitment technology spending, 40% are prioritizing interview intelligence and evaluation, 33% are prioritizing screening capabilities, and 31% are prioritizing candidate assessments and insights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Still, less than 20% of those surveyed said more than half of their time had shifted from administrative work to higher-value tasks \u2014 not yet the business-wide productivity shift the AI industry claimed would already be here. Jao said that while AI has helped alleviate some administrative tasks for recruiters, many are still responsible for higher-order tasks that now include sifting and filtering through applications, which makes it more difficult to determine candidate proficiency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat [the data] says to us is that AI can take a little bit of legwork and [some tasks] that are maybe redundant or repetitive in nature. But then the fact is, we still need to think,\u201d Jao said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/ai-spending-roi-bcg-2026-applied-ai-index\/\">50% of companies generate value from AI now \u2013 here\u2019s how<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He added that harnessing the power of people will be critical heading into 2027 and beyond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody\u2019s saying to use AI, but the reality is that no one has actually stopped or slowed people down to say, \u2018Hey, this is what AI in a workplace means for your specific function,\u2019\u201d Jao told ZDNET in an exclusive interview. \u201cI do believe that we\u2019ll see a little bit more pushback into human interaction, human decisions, and human instincts in conjunction with what AI can do.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What candidates and recruiters can do <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The report highlighted that some companies are taking a step back and maximizing their greatest asset \u2014 their people \u2014 to help adapt their recruiting. Further down in the hiring process, traditional onboarding is returning to the office. Forty-three percent of companies now expect to onboard most employees completely in person, up from 36% last year; Hybrid onboarding fell from 55% to 40%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/manager-ai-use-highwire-survey\/\">Managers are using AI to write performance reviews \u2013 and it shows<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While this is an important step in combating AI-related online fraud and resume deception, it\u2019s also key to understanding how HR teams can better narrow candidate pools to identify and understand the best individuals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For recruiters, Jao said the most important thing to note ahead of 2027 to help propel growth and reset is to find their gaps \u2014 and mind them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s just understanding what your key problem or challenges are, or where you\u2019re spending the most amount of time that you want to gain efficiency, and therefore, as you go into 2027, you can find tools or enhancements or products specifically to address your knowledge of your process gaps.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, AI tools are starting to do this. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/pearson-workera-acquisition-ai-upskilling\/\">Workera<\/a>, the AI-skills brand recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/pearson-workera-acquisition-ai-upskilling\/\">announced to be acquired by Pearson<\/a>, is already piloting a dynamic AI-based skills platform that will allow companies to evaluate and train employees. More tools and systems are sure to follow, but Jao said it\u2019s important for both applicants and recruiters to remember the role human connection can play when coupled with AI, and bridge it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat most job seekers may or may not realize is that every role they\u2019re applying for\u2026 is really more difficult to cut through the noise than before. So to stand out, I think it\u2019s best to be kind of old-school,\u201d Jao said. \u201cShow personality in a time when AI is making everyone look almost too perfect.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/pearson-workera-acquisition-ai-upskilling\/\">Nearly 70% of workers use AI regularly now \u2013 but many get no time to upskill<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Recruiters can do a better job of surfacing opportunities for candidates to share personality, too. Jao said it\u2019s important to ask deeper questions and evaluate beyond what\u2019s already being conveyed on paper. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not just finding people with a hard skill set\u2026 we want people who are just good problem solvers, and I think that\u2019s what meets the eye beyond what resumes or LinkedIn profiles can say,\u201d Jao said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jao said candidates need to stay true to themselves, too, and remember that AI is a tool to help tell your story, not be the storyteller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRead through what AI writes for you, and then just put your personal touch back into it\u2026 find ways to stand out, and talk about why you do things differently,\u201d Jao said of potential job-seekers. Jao also recommended sending that personal note or introduction, as it\u2019s another way to show your realness as a candidate in a system stacked with so many polished personas that may or may not be accurate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/innovation\/ai-models-hack-businesses-who-is-responsible\/\">Who\u2019s responsible for catching rogue AI agents? You are<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Jao said one of the biggest takeaways is that 2027 is a great time to recalibrate and refocus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at a time where there\u2019s a lot of pullback from AI, and humans still absolutely need to be a critical part and one of the most critical parts of decision-making in hiring,\u201d Jao said. \u201cAI is not as helpful as we thought. So it\u2019s about actually finding a balance, and then [finding] the governance, and then [finding] how we coexist with AI. This is something that\u2019s really important for our recruiters and hiring managers to kind of adapt to and figure out.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"zd-disqus\" data-zd-disqus data-disqus-shortname=\"zdnet-1\" data-disqus-identifier=\"1366418\" data-disqus-url=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/education\/employ-report-ai-hr-hiring\/\" data-disqus-title=\"\u2018So perfect, they are literally identical\u2019 \u2013 Your AI-polished resumes are recruiters\u2019 new top stressor\" data-disqus-api-key=\"y0Dp0T6itn9rbTvSf2xkzkhaUL7c5EJsmaWF3XYBqXNz8GHH7wSX1nXi4qzdihWV\" data-disqus-show-label=\"Show Comments\" data-disqus-hide-label=\"Hide Comments\"> <button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-disqus__toggle\" data-zd-disqus-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\"> <span class=\"zd-disqus__toggle-text\" data-zd-disqus-label>Show Comments<\/span> <svg class=\"zd-disqus__toggle-icon\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"> <path d=\"M7 1 V12.5 M2.5 8 L7 12.5 L11.5 8\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/> <\/svg> <\/button> <\/p>\n<div class=\"zd-disqus__panel\" data-zd-disqus-panel hidden>\n<p class=\"zd-disqus__consent\" data-zd-disqus-consent hidden>Please accept cookies to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript> <\/section>\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter-container\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_body\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_nameBlock\">\n<div class=\"c-cmsImage articleAuthorBioFooter_image\"> <picture class=\"c-cmsImage_image\"> <img alt=\"Kayla Solino\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/img-2794.jpg?w=43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/img-2794.jpg?w=85 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-64 photo\" height=\"64\" width=\"64\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"> <\/picture> <\/div>\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_nameText\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_name\"> <span>Kayla Solino<\/span> <\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_credentials\"> Editor <\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_bio has-bio\"> <span>Kayla Solino is a ZDNET Editor based in New York City and New Jersey.
