I’ve been studying how to make myself more attractive to the AI application screeners that many companies with open remote positions use.
To become a candidate that more closely aligns with the double-secret unspecified specific needs of the role, this is what I found out.
It turns out the letter S has an average frequency of 6.3% in the English language.
By keeping the frequency between 6.18% and 6.42% in your cover letter and resume, it will make no difference whatsoever.
It’s a total crap shoot.
Good luck and keep trying.
We’re all in this together.

A self-medicating spelunking guide once taught me the difference between stalactites and stalagmites.
He said stalactites were the ones hanging from the ceiling, and if they weren’t on “tite”, they could fall on you.
And stalagmites were the ones coming up from the ground, and if you weren’t careful, you “mite” trip over them.
He then walked off the edge of a deep pit and plunged 200 feet to his death.
Much like caving, crafting a cover letter that can pass both AI screening and human beings requires care, strategy and a bit of luck.
Lucky for you, here is my 376-step guide for making the perfect…

"Just as the job market flooded with freshly-graduated and newly laid-off tech workers, generative AI arrived on the scene. Now, as jobseekers increasingly rely on platforms like ChatGPT to spit out cover letters that tick off all the right keywords, hiring managers must wade through an ever-deepening pool of applications that read more or less alike."

"Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have significantly lowered the cost of producing written content. This paper studies how LLMs, through lowering writing costs, disrupt markets that traditionally relied on writing as a costly signal of quality (e.g., job applications, college essays). Using data from Freelancer.com, a major digital labor platform, we explore the effects of LLMs’ disruption of labor market signaling on equilibrium market outcomes. We develop a novel LLM-based measure to quantify
the extent to which an application is tailored to a given job posting. Taking the measure to the data, we find that employers had a high willingness to pay for workers with more customized applications in the period before LLMs were introduced, but not after. To isolate and quantify the effect of LLMs’ disruption of signaling on equilibrium outcomes, we develop and estimate a structural model of labor market signaling, in which workers invest costly effort to produce noisy signals that predict their ability in equilibrium. We use the estimated model to simulate a counterfactual equilibrium in which LLMs render written applications useless in signaling workers’ ability. Without costly signaling, employers are less able to identify high-ability workers, causing the market to become significantly less meritocratic:
compared to the pre-LLM equilibrium, workers in the top quintile of the ability distribution are hired 19% less often, workers in the bottom quintile are hired 14% more often." -

#Recruitment #HR #CoverLetters #Humour: "Or I could devote paragraphs to describing my problem-solving credentials. To do so, I would use the STAR (situation, task, action and result) method that your own website says is a crucial part of your interview process. To take just one example, I previously worked for a chickpea distributor in Alaska. A colleague was underperforming badly and I was asked to mentor him. I worked intensively with him, accompanying him on all his client calls until I transformed his numbers and he became the best-performing salesperson in the entire chickpea industry. As a result, the bastard was promoted to run the department and I find myself looking for work.
(...)
I can make all of the same boasts in the cv you also asked for, and on LinkedIn (where I may be less likely to make things up). I have followed all of the usual advice on cover letters, as has almost every other applicant. I am playing your own words back to you, as I have already admitted. I have been careful to use lots of action verbs, like “transformed” and “quadrupled”, to reinforce the impression that I am an entrepreneurial go-getter with a hunter mentality. (Tick. Tick. Tick.)In other words, this is almost certainly a waste of your time and mine. The only defensible argument that I can think of for requesting a cover letter is that you might stumble across something a bit different. You might even come across a candidate honest enough to tell you what they think and memorable enough to warrant an interview."

The primary value of cover letters, to a prospective employer, is their filtering function.
I don't mean they allow the hiring manager to filter out unqualified candidates, or that filter for people with effective written communication skills.
I mean they provide a yes/no filter on each candidate: yes or no, will this person allow us to waste their time with unpleasant, unnecessary tasks for no guaranteed reward?
That's what they learn from a cover letter.
