From ChatGPT enthusiasts to Claude devotees, most professionals now incorporate at least one AI-powered tool into their daily workflow.

Recent research from Deloitte highlights that 18 million people in the UK aged between 16-75 are already using generative AI tools.

And of those already using generative AI tools at work, 10 per cent are doing so daily and 26 per cent are doing so weekly.

Given this trend, it’s hardly surprising that job hunters are employing the same tactics in other areas of their professional lives and turning to AI to enhance their search for new opportunities.

However, if you haven’t started incorporating AI tools into your job application process or need some help with where to get started, below we’re outlining how AI can transform your job search journey.

AI for job research

The most demanding aspect of job hunting often involves researching potential employers, analysing job postings for important keywords, and evaluating whether a role could be a good career move in the long run.

Thankfully, AI can significantly streamline this process.

You can utilise your generative AI tool of choice to conduct comprehensive research and critique your current CV, so you can quickly determine your suitability for specific positions.

These tools can also identify gaps in both your technical and soft skills while suggesting ways to emphasise your relevant transferable abilities.

Enhancing your CV

After identifying suitable positions and necessary qualifications, AI can assist in crafting or updating your CV. However, exercise caution when implementing AI-generated content.

Simply copying AI-produced text may result in a document that doesn’t authentically represent your background and achievements. Plus, content that seems artificially polished can be a major red flag for recruiters, who might question its authenticity.

Additionally, hiring professionals are becoming increasingly adept at recognising AI-generated content through telltale signs like specific word choices (such as ‘spearhead’ instead of ‘lead’) and distinctive formatting patterns. Instead, use AI to create a blueprint of sorts, that you can personalise and make your own.

AI recruitment agents

If 2024 marked widespread adoption of generative AI, 2025 is shaping up as the year of agentic AI – systems capable of autonomous problem-solving with minimal human intervention.

Leading the charge is Robin, an AI-powered job search assistant which can instantly match your CV to suitable positions, eliminating hours of manual searching.

Sitting on company careers pages and job boards, Robin asks users to naturally communicate their skills, career goals, and workplace preferences in a conversational way, as though they are speaking to a recruiter, to select the most suitable roles.

Robin can also provide valuable insights about company benefits, compensation packages, and workplace culture to inform your decision-making process.

Turbo charge your professional connections

While in-person networking remains crucial for career advancement, AI can help when you have to cold call recruiters, hiring managers or senior leaders.

From suggesting personalised strategies for connecting with people via email to crafting engaging outreach messages, AI can take the awkwardness out of drafting seemingly simple messages that can often take hours to hone if starting from scratch.
