The rise in AI has seen demand for professionally written CVs in a bid to stand out against algorithms.
Experts say while AI can be useful to screen hundreds of applicants faster, it's created a transparency gap between employers and jobseekers.
CVs by Sarah director Sarah Wrightson says the screening software rules out applicants before a human gets a chance to look at their CVs, and it results in qualified applicants getting filtered out.
"I've had clients come to me saying that they've applied for 80 jobs and heard nothing back - and often, they've actually got really solid experience. The software's looking for alignment and clarity, humans read context, the software doesn't."
