GoKawiilSapia.ai and recruiters push skills-based hiring as AI floods resumes
Sapia.ai CEO Barb Hyman argues traditional resumes are becoming unreliable because AI tools let candidates mass-produce tailored CVs and cover letters, citing UK data showing graduate employers received an average of 140 applications per vacancy in 2025, a 30-year high. She and other recruiters say hiring is shifting toward directly assessing candidates' skills rather than relying on employment history, with Michael Page research finding about two-thirds of UK organizations already using skills-based hiring.
