Less than a year and a half has passed since the release of ChatGPT, and generative AI has already become a crucial job-hunting tool.
It's no secret that applying for jobs can be taxing, and no one's paying you for the time and labor you invest in all those cover letters, resumes and interview prep. This is likely part of the reason why 53% of recently hired U.S. workers say they used generative AI tools to help them with the job search process, according to a new report from ZipRecruiter.
That share of job seekers using AI has surged since the last time the job-listing site surveyed new hires in the second quarter of 2023. At that point, just 25% said they'd used AI while trying to find a new job.
