The integration of artificial intelligence in the work research process is becoming an increasingly common and accepted practice. According to the last study conducted by Hays, a global leader in personnel management, an impressive 43% of professionals used to generative tools to improve their profile and apply for new opportunities in 2025. This marks a clear increase compared to 23% recorded only two years earlierhighlighting a rapid evolution in the perception and use of the AI in the world of work.
Hays’ report reveals that the use of artificial intelligence is not limited to the simplification of daily operations but extends significantly to the recruitment sector. The share of professionals who use the IA daily has grown from 20% in 2023 to 43% in 2024, a growth that testifies to the growing importance of this technology in the application strategies.
The IA is seen as a precious tool to refine the curriculum vitae, with almost half of the interviewees (48%) which recognizes the benefitscompared to 35% of the previous year. This positive perception is supported by Hays’ advice, which suggest using the IA to improve the CV rather than creating it from scratch and requesting feedback to customize the results.
Despite the benefits, a significant minority (16%) considers the use of a little fair and would prefer to see it limited. This represents a slight decrease compared to 18% in 2024, indicating a very slow but progressive change in the ethical beliefs related to the use of the I in the search for work.
