The Rise of AI in Resume Writing: How Smith & Co Ensure You Get the Best Talent
A recent study conducted by Canva revealed a significant shift in how job seekers are approaching the resume-building process. According to the study, 45% of job seekers are now using AI tools to generate or enhance their resumes. This trend is particularly pronounced among men, with a study by Enhancv showing that they are 35% more likely to use AI for resume assistance than women.
What Does This Mean for the Future of Hiring?
The increasing reliance on AI for resume creation presents a new challenge for employers. As more candidates use these tools to polish their resumes, it becomes increasingly difficult to assess their true competency levels during the hiring process. AI-generated resumes can make even less experienced candidates appear more qualified than they are, potentially leading to mismatches between job requirements and candidate capabilities.
Enter Recruitment Companies: Your Solution to Quality Hiring
In this evolving landscape, recruitment companies like Smith & Co are more important than ever. As AI tools become more prevalent, businesses will need a reliable partner to help them identify truly qualified candidates. This is where Smith & Co excels, offering a robust and rigorous screening process designed to ensure that the candidates presented are not only skilled on paper but also in practice.
Smith & Co’s Rigorous Screening Process
At Smith & Co, we understand the importance of verifying a candidate’s true abilities. That’s why we’ve implemented a multi-stage screening process that includes:
- Phone Screening: An initial conversation to assess a candidate’s communication skills, experience, and overall fit for the role.
- In-Person Meetings: A face-to-face interview to dive deeper into the candidate’s background, motivations, and professional demeanour.
- Skill Testing: We offer specialised software testing to test candidates on key competencies such as problem-solving, time management, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft 365 proficiency. These assessments provide a clear and unbiased evaluation of a candidate’s skills, ensuring they meet the specific requirements of the role.

By focusing on actual skills and abilities rather than just a polished resume, we ensure that the most qualified candidates are put forward to employers.
