AI Falls Short in Soft Skills Hiring Assessments, New Cangrade Report Reveals
Briefly

A report by Cangrade reveals that AI-powered job applications are not succeeding in soft skills assessments, with only a 12% success rate from generative AI tools like ChatGPT. These tools, while popular for drafting resumes and responses, falter in demonstrating nuanced soft skills that recruiters prioritize. The cautious tone of AI responses may hinder candidates in roles requiring precision. Furthermore, AI tools often emphasize desired traits while neglecting valuable attributes, leading to poor alignment with job requirements. This creates challenges for recruiters in assessing true talent amidst AI assistance in applications.
Our research shows that well-designed soft skills assessments remain an effective first line of defense against AI-enabled job seekers overstating their abilities, said Gershon Goren, founder and CEO of Cangrade.
ChatGPT and similar tools struggled with job-specific nuances, leading to a poor alignment with what different roles truly require, the report states.
