AI usage in hiring reaches 73% among US employers

A study by monCVparfait involving 1,000 American HR professionals reveals that 73% of employers now use artificial intelligence in hiring decisions. Notably, 65% of recruitment managers report that AI automatically rejects candidates before any human review occurs.

The integration of AI extends into workforce management, with 52% of employers using the technology for workforce planning, including layoffs and restructuring. However, the technology faces accuracy concerns, as 47% of employers admit that AI has incorrectly eliminated candidates.

Additionally, 51% of employers utilize AI to flag candidates deemed “at risk,” such as those with frequent job changes or gaps in their resumes. Career expert Jasmine Escalera notes that this increasing automation means more career decisions are made before candidates have the opportunity to explain their experience or potential.
