Software Developer vs Recruiter: Using AI To Land The Job in 2025

[@traezeeofor]

Thanks so much for this. Just used your ATS friendly resume tips to "refactor" my CV/Resume 😋

Unfortunately the whole AI thing is heading people into even more useless work. For example what's the point in rewriting an email with GPT just so the person at the other end is summarizing your email with the same GPT... it's mega stupid. Instead of actually chatting with the developers on linkedin, the bots of the devs will chat with the bots of the recruiters.

What to do, then? Pull out the calculators?

[@cos_marc]

@@TravisMedia to avoid creating these expectations of "nicely" (though nice is debatable) written emails and cover letters and accept simple words that come directly from the person not from some hallucinating gpt. Especially in tech, people are not good copywriters.

[@mohamedayman7760]

ok let me tell you that I found job postings that says it's forbidden to use AI to write coverletters and candidates who do will be banned from future openings. I find it kind of funny since it's a junior position

[@TravisMedia]

They also say you need 15 years of Next.js experience.

[@pcls-tech]

That's why you have to edit it to make it look more authentic

[@hitmusicworldwide]

While job seekers reject AI, the job providers are using AI . That tells you something😅

[@AlexBall03]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@mdyousufgazi4030]

wow. these are some valuable tips and suggestions

[@HowardCodes]

Really great video. I think also, that people should be making sure to fine-tune everything AI spits out. As it is not perfect and companies are getting better at detecting people that are using it to do the heavy lifting. It should be no more than a smart guiding tool.

[@TravisMedia]

Yes! Great point

But if it writes bad code and has no context to what bad and good code is how is the analysis valid

[@hitmusicworldwide]

Don't believe that "bad code" argument. It's trained the same way that humans are trained. It had access to the same documentation, examples, coding history, and textbooks. If you don't know anything about the way it's trained that means you don't understand Ai. You think it's a black box. That's not true. Human readable object oriented computer languages are abstractions. Because they're made by humans They're full of bugs, inconsistencies, and vulnerabilities. The whole thing gets compiled down to machine code anyway. Why? Because machine code is extremely difficult for humans to understand and use. I believe the "bad code" arguement is put out by sour grape, AI scared devs trying to maintain a "black box" myth about code creation. Some see themselves as part of some mysterious guild of "artist wizards". Software is not art. Software is not magic. If these magical developers were so good at what they do, why are there so many bugs and vulnerabilities in the software written by these human perfectionists? I've been doing music for a long time. When drum machines first came out, drummers were haters, just like the devs are about AI today. But in modern music use of a drum machine or in a DAW is totally normal.

cover-letter who? he
