How can you tell if someone used AI for their resume?

This question was asked in a webinar this week: “How can you tell if someone used AI for their resume?”There are some telltale signs:Generic, impersonal language Unusual formatting or errors like repetitive use of jargon/buzzwords Lack of personalization, descriptions, or specific examples Inconsistency in information like improperly sequenced dates, odd titlesI could probably go on, but to me, the bigger question is: Should someone use AI in their resume? As always, I have opinions, but I’d rather hear from you.What do you think? ✅ If yes, why is it ok? 🚫 If no, why not?

DO NOT READ THIS POST.

Yo. What are you doing here? Didn’t you read the headline? It said to NOT read this.But here you are. Why? Because you were curious why I would say that. And it is EXACTLY what this post is about. – How to get someone to read your InMail. GET THEIR ATTENTION.Luckily, AI-Assisted Messages within Recruiter does an excellent job of writing great subject lines. (If you are curious, hit me up for some stats on how successful they are in the comments below.) Meanwhile, in case you want to know WHY they work, let me share five best practices for writing an effective subject line.1. Keep it Short and IntriguingA subject line should be concise and intriguing to capture the reader's attention quickly. This is especially important for mobile users who may only see a portion of the subject line.2. Make it CatchyA catchy subject line can hook the reader and make them want to open the message. Think of it as the first impression that sets the tone for the rest of your InMail.3. Personalize When Poss

Don’t go to InMail Jail, the weather’s too nice!

Ok, jail is nothing to joke about. But I got your attention, right? A question came in yesterday from someone who got the dreaded message: Your InMail response rate of 11.6% has fallen below the 13% threshold during June 13, 2025 at 8:00 PM - June 27, 2025 at 8:00 PM. If it remains below 13%, you will be placed in the InMail Improvement Period and will temporarily be unable to send bulk InMail messages for two weeks, starting on July 28, 2025. Ugh! Now what?! Well, as this person wrote, they would love to increase their response rate. And they are Doing All The Things that they were told to do. How frustrating!There are many things that can be discussed. Here are my Top 10.Let AI help you. AI-Assisted Search results that are then InMail-ed (is that a real verb?) are getting good response rates. Use AI to help you search. And use it to create that first draft. Use Your Superpowers. You have Spotlight filters at the top of your results. These are categories for people who will most likel

How do you handle adding Job Posts for more than one location?

Yesterday a question posted by @Cristina Nuñez in Community Discussions > Hiring & Recruiting Lounge caught my eye. It’s the one in the headline above, of course. It makes me curious to hear what you think. For now, I’ll start with my thoughts.One way it could be handled is by having separate Job Posts, and thus separate Projects for each location. That way you can track the candidates easily and see where they are in your process for each Project. So, if a candidate is a good fit for a role in Manhattan and Brooklyn, you might have different Projects for each location, and that candidate could be in both Projects.To explain a little more: candidates can be in more than one project at a time. They probably will even be in a different category of your workflow for each project. If you and your team work consistently and put each candidate in appropriate the Pipeline stage of a Project, you will all be able to see both how many projects a candidate is in and where they are in eac
