Is AI Killing The Resume?
Computerworld, Monday, September 22nd, 2025
As applicants use AI to quickly create job-specific resumes, some companies are shifting focus to skills assessments, portfolios, and real-world tasks.
AI has made it easy for job applicants to tailor resumes to a job description - and good for them. But now employers are drowning in lookalike resumes with little real insight, research shows.
While most companies still require a resume, many others, especially in tech, are shifting focus from traditional resumes to skills assessments, portfolios, and real-world tasks. Tools like HireVue use AI and video interviews to evaluate candidates, and some employers now review LinkedIn profiles instead of requesting resumes.
