One of the largest recruiters in the United Kingdom is to speed up a plan to switch to more frequent face to face assessments as university graduates are increasingly dependent on the use of artificial intelligence to apply for jobs.
Teach First, a charitable organization that will accelerate graduates in teaching jobs, said that he planned to advance written predominance missions – where AI could help hidden candidates – to define more assessments where candidates perform tasks such as “micro -lessons” to assessors.
This decision comes as the number of people using AI for job applications increased from 38% last year, to 50% this year, according to a study by Bright Network qualified employment.
Patrick Dempsey, the Executive Director of Program Talent at Teach First, said that there had been an increase of almost 30% of requests so far this year over the same period last year, the AI playing an important role.
Dempsey said that the sharp increase in job demand was partly due to softening in the labor market, but that the use of automation for applications allowing graduates to apply more easily to several jobs simultaneously.
“The transition from written evaluation to task-based evaluation is something that we feel the need to speed up,” he said.
Dempsey said that a large part of the use of AI was not detected, but there could be revealing signs. “There are cases where people leave the end of a chatgpt message in an application response, and of course they are rejected,” he said.
A leading organization in the recruitment of graduates said that the proportion of students and university leaving using AI to apply for jobs had increased to five candidates out of 10. Bright Network, which links graduates and young professionals to employers, found half of the graduates and undergraduate students have now used AI for their applications.
More than a quarter of the companies interviewed in a survey of 15,000 people will establish directives for the use of AI in employment requests, in time for the next recruitment season.
Kirsten Barnes, head of the Bright Network digital platform, said employers have noticed a “push” in applications.
“AI tools allow candidates of all ages – not just graduates – to apply to many different roles,” she said. “Employers told us that what they saw is a huge increase in the volume of requests they receive.”
Percées in AI coincided with downward pressure on the graduate and junior job market.
Dartmouth Partners, a recruitment agency specializing in the financial services sector, said that he saw more and more candidates using keywords written in white on their CVS. The words are not visible to the human eye, but would ask a system to push the candidate the next phase of the recruitment process if a potential employer used AI to filter applications.

Vacant posts for qualified jobs, learning, internships and junior jobs without a diploma obligation fell 32% since the launch of Chatgpt in November 2022, according to research published last month by the Adzuna job search site. These entry-level jobs now represent 25% of the market in the United Kingdom, compared to 28.9% in 2022, he revealed.
Last month, another job research site, in fact, reported that university graduates have faced the most difficult labor market since 2018, the finding of the number of roles announced for recent graduates had dropped 33% in mid-June compared to the same point last year.
The Institute of Student Employers said that the graduate and schoolchildren market as a whole did not decrease as quickly as reported. His survey of 69 employers showed that vacancies aimed at graduates have decreased by 7%, but vacant school vacancies increased by 23%, which means that there was an overall increase of 1%of a market allocated to the impact of AI.
The GTI group, a charitable organization that helps students get used to employment, said that job offers on university careers in the United Kingdom increased by 8% this year compared to last year.
Interviews with graduate recruitment agencies and experts have noted that AI had not yet caused severe disturbances on the market for school and university leaving – but the change is inevitable and new carpenters with the economy of white collars must become qualified in AI to have a chance to progress.
James Reed, the director general of the Reed Employment Agency, said that he “felt sorry” for young people who have accumulated debts under study for diplomas and encountered a difficult job market. “I think universities should look at this and think very carefully about how they prepare young people,” he said.
He added that the AI would transform the entire labor market. “This change is fundamental and in five years, it will be very different-the whole labor market,” he said.
