AI-generated CVs are flooding the UAE job market, with more than three-quarters of recruiters reporting a sharp rise in volume of such submissions.

Despite the surge, many of these resumes are being flagged for failing to match job requirements, leading hiring experts to warn jobseekers against overreliance on AI tools. Poorly tailored AI-generated CVs not only miss the mark in terms of content but may also be ranked lower by search engines used in recruitment platforms.
