Almost half of UK professionals fully intend to use ChatGPT in their next job search

With record wage growth reported in the job market, an exclusive new survey of 4,000 UK workers from UK independent job board CV-Library reveals that 42.7% of job seekers fully intend to use ChatGPT to further bolster their next job search.

Digging down into the exact ways they intend to use the tool, the results were as follows:

44.6% to explore which roles would match my skills
41.6% to help write my CV
37% to help write my cover letter
35.2% to get a better understanding of the role I'm applying for
32.2% to help with possible interview responses
38.9% all of the above

An overwhelming 71% aren’t worried that ChatGPT might overstate their abilities and 63% don’t feel that using the tool would be misleading potential employers.

Lee Biggins, Founder and CEO of CV-Library said: "AI has already revolutionised many of the fundamental aspects of recruitment, automating and streamlining processes, such as CV screening, candidate selection, and even interviewing. It's both expected and understandable that candidates will also take the opportunity to use the tool."

Biggins continued: "Concerns over inflating CV content are valid but, if regulation is put in place and it's used correctly, ChatGPT can help candidates create a powerful CV that stands out in the hiring process and helps secure an interview."
