Instead of spending hours tweaking resumes and sending out applications, he created an AI-powered system to take care of everything while he slept.
According to his post, the AI bot applied for hundreds of jobs, tailoring each application and cover letter automatically—without him lifting a finger.
He explained that his bot not only submitted applications but also customized his resume and cover letter for each role, optimizing his chances of passing through automated hiring filters.
He wrote: “I created an AI bot that: Analyzes candidate information, examines job descriptions, generates unique CVs and cover letters for each job, answers specific questions that recruiters ask, automatically applies to jobs.”
Breaking down his strategy, he argued that AI is already reshaping the hiring process, with many companies relying on algorithms to filter applicants. Using AI on his end, he believed, simply leveled the playing field.
He also pointed out that his AI tool helped him “effectively pass through automated screening systems,” which many candidates struggle to do.
The user acknowledged the ethical debate surrounding AI in job hunting but remained firm in his stance.
He wrote (though whether it was him or AI is up for debate): “Observing this technological revolution, I can’t help but reflect on the profound implications for the world of work. “
While the process is efficient, automating job applications challenges the idea of personal connections in the workplace.
“We’ll need to find a delicate balance between the efficiency of artificial intelligence and the richness of human interactions. Only then can we build a future of work that is not just productive, but also fulfilling and meaningful for everyone.”
Others, however, defended him, arguing that if companies are using AI to eliminate candidates, then job seekers should be allowed to fight fire with fire.
So what do you think? Is this a smart and innovative way to job hunt, or is it a dishonest approach that undermines the hiring process?
