[Duplicate] Hiring With Confidence in the AI Era
Source: Fisher Phillips, October 24, 2025
Rapid advancements in AI technology are reshaping nearly every stage of the hiring process, from how employers source talent to how candidates present themselves. Artificial intelligence can streamline staffing activities and help job seekers polish their resumes and prepare for interviews. But an emerging concern for employers is whether applicants are using AI to game the system rather than genuinely showcase their skills. How can employers embrace these new tools while still ensuring authenticity in the hiring process? Here are three deceptive practices that could lead to bad hires and seven ways to protect your business.
3 Trends to Spot
As AI tools become more sophisticated, employers face growing concerns about deepfakes, embellished work samples, and AI-generated interview responses. The first step to protect your business from these deceptive practices is to stay on top of the latest trends in this area:
1. Falsifying Job Search Materials with AI. Many job candidates use AI to help fine-tune their resumes and cover letters, and it’s generally fine if an applicant uses ChatGPT to help them to speed up the process and polish their documents before sending. It becomes a problem when work samples, writing capabilities, or experience and skills are fabricated through AI, and candidates are misleading about their actual knowledge, skills, and abilities. While job seekers could fake their qualifications before the rise of GenAI, new technology makes it easier and more prevalent. Employers should be aware of this emerging issue, even if it involves only a small subset of the candidate pool.
