Certify that your cover letter, resume or writing test are human-written
Most hiring managers don't want to read AI‑generated job applications. They want to assess your ability to articulate why you are the right person for the role. Some roles require a writing test. Proudly Human verifies that your cover letters, resume (CV) and written test are human-written. Get your official ProudlyHuman™ certification.
Why certification matters: a sampling from the news, surveys and reports
“80% of hiring managers dislike seeing AI-generated CVs and cover letters. 74% say they can spot when AI has been used in a job application… More than half (57%) are significantly less likely to hire an applicant who has used AI.”
“67% of U.S. HR leaders say reviewing AI-generated applications has slowed the hiring process...Dawn Fay: “AI has made it easier to generate applications, but it hasn’t made it easier to identify the right talent.”
“The number of applications submitted on LinkedIn has surged more than 45 percent in the past year... generative artificial intelligence tools are contributing to the deluge.”
“Giving appropriate attention and scrutiny to thousands of near-identical cover letters and resumes has created a perverse challenge for employers.”
