Nvidia's Jonathan Ross said AI résumés may be preferred by AI screening tools in hiring. Bloomberg/Getty Images Nvidia's Jonathan Ross said that "AI likes to use AI." Research shows that AI screening tools may favor résumés generated by the same AI models they use. Ross said that applicants may need multiple AI-tailored résumés to maximize their chances. Nvidia's Chief Software Architect said job seekers could benefit from using the same AI model that recruiters use. Speaking at the Sohn Investment Conference 2026, Jonathan Ross, the AI hardware architect who previously helped invent Google's TPU chip, said that "AI likes to use AI" and pointed to emerging research that AI hiring systems may favor résumés generated by their own underlying models."Someone did a study and showed that résumés generated from one LLM are preferred by that same LLM over the résumés from the other," Ross told John Yetimoglu, the CIO of Infinitum."The recruiters are now using LLM to determine who to interview, but you got to figure out which LLM the recruiter's using," he added.Ross said that applicants may need multiple AI-tailored résumés to maximize their chances of getting through automated screening systems. "So, you should build one résumé with Claude or Opus 4.7 and one with ChatGPT, and you'll have the highest probability of being selected, basically," he said.Ross appeared to be referring to a recent academic paper titled "AI Self-preferencing in Algorithmic Hiring," published in a late 2025 edition of "Proceedings of the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society," by researchers Jiannan Xu, Gujie Li, and Jane Yi Jiang.The researchers tested more than 2,200 résumés across 24 occupations and found that applicants using the same AI model as the evaluator were between 23% and 60% more likely to be shortlisted than candidates submitting human-written résumés with similar qualifications.The comments come as AI-powered hiring tools are quickly spreading through corporate recruiting departments.A 2025 Resume.org survey of nearly 1,400 US workers familiar with their companies' hiring practices found that 57% of companies were already using AI in hiring workflows. Among those employers, 79% said they use AI to review résumés, while 74% said AI systems could reject candidates without human review.The rapid adoption of AI screening tools has also sparked growing concerns about bias and false negatives in hiring.Business Insider recently reported that an IT worker said he w...
New Analysis Reveals How Job Seekers Who Use AI on Their Resumes Are ...
Novorésumé breaks down the benefits and risks of AI use in resumes as recruiters grow more selective The most successful candidates use AI to clarify their value, tailor applications, and work smarter, NOT to mask who they truly are.”— Andrei KurtuyNEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, February 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Job seekers are increasingly turning to AI resume builders to compete in an oversaturated hiring market. According to Business Insider, the average job opening now receives 242 applications, leaving individual candidates with just a 0.4% chance of landing the role. As a result, AI has emerged as both a powerful advantage and a potential liability in resume creation. To understand what actually happens to job seekers who use AI in resumes, Novorésumé analyzed emerging hiring trends, recruiter surveys, and internal product insights to assess when AI helps candidates stand out, versus when it quietly works against them. The findings suggest that resume builders like Novorésumé that strategically integrate AI can drastically improve resume efficiency, but only when used to enhance authentic experience rather than replace it. Here are the key takeaways from the Novorésumé team’s findings: - AI Gives Resumes a Fighting Chance in ATS Screening. AI helps job seekers identify relevant keywords, optimize phrasing, and structure content in ways that align with applicant tracking systems (ATS). For candidates using a modern resume builder like Novorésumé with ATS-friendly resume templates, AI can provide a measurable advantage early in the hiring funnel. Furthermore, Novorésumé tools that use AI to recommend role-specific phrases and keywords improve a resume’s chances of being seen by human recruiters, particularly when competition for a given role is high. - Recruiters Are Getting Better at Spotting AI-Written Content. While AI can improve a resume’s visibility, it also introduces risk when the resume is reviewed by humans. According to EverydayTechy, 74% of hiring managers claim they can identify AI-written resumes, particularly those which aren’t edited to remove generic phrasing and overused buzzwords. Cookie-cutter language, vague achievements, and overly polished tone are increasingly red flags, especially when multiple applicants submit near-identical AI-generated resumes. - AI Opens Doors, but Authenticity Closes the Deal. While AI can effectively help job seekers communicate the value of their experience to recruiters, using AI to fabric...
AI-driven hiring's hidden risks and how HR leaders can stay ahead
Over the last year, AI has transformed recruiting faster than even the most vigilant leaders expected. While AI has enabled efficiency, faster screening, broader reach and better matching, it has also given rise to massive candidate fraud amid a flood of mass-generated resumes. AI in hiring has quickly become a risk management challenge with serious legal, reputational and operational ...
Why AI-Generated Applications Are Creating a New Hiring Problem (And ...
This creates a paradox. AI tools on the employer side were supposed to help manage volume, and in some ways they do — automated screening can reduce resume review time by up to 75 percent. But when the applications themselves are also AI-generated, those screening tools are increasingly matching on surface-level polish rather than substance.
