That's according to Forrester's predictions for 2024, which prophesied that the heavy use of AI by both candidates and recruiters will lead to at least one well-known company to hire a nonexistent candidate, and at least one business to hire a real candidate for a nonexistent job.
The more straightforward scenario involves a candidate who uses AI to automatically respond to job postings, which continues running after they've accepted a role. Eventually, one of those applications could be successful and lead a company to hire a candidate that isn't even on the market. That's the boring version, Gownder says.
He imagines a scenario in which the technology is directed to create the most compelling application possible, leading to fabricated credentials and even a name change to avoid bias.
