Why use AI Aware’s Text Detector?
Check if CVs and covering letters are created by artificial intelligence or a person
AI text detection for recruitment
AI detection in recruitment allows you to spot Artificial intelligence generated text such as CVs, cover letters, and writing tasks. The product identifies generated content from all AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok.
Our approach is world leading and has very low error rates compared to other approaches. It also detects AI generated text that has been manipulated by people or with online tools.
The growing problem of AI-written CVs and applications
The use of AI to write CVs, cover letters and written assessment tasks has become widespread among job applicants. While using AI as a writing aid is not inherently dishonest, it creates a genuine problem for recruiters when a candidate’s written application no longer reflects their own communication skills, judgment or personality, especially if these qualities are central to a role.
In industries where written communication is a core competency such as law, finance, journalism, consulting or PR, an AI-polished application can result in a candidate being hired on false pretences, only for the mismatch to become apparent once they are in post.
Even more of a problem is the growing issue of AI being used to create fictious candidates with non-existing skills who are getting hire and paid for remote jobs in large organisations.
AI Aware gives recruitment teams and hiring managers an objective signal about the likely provenance of written submissions, enabling them to ask more targeted questions at interview or to supplement written tasks with an in-person or live written component.
Using AI detection fairly in the hiring process
Introducing AI detection into recruitment carries responsibilities. Candidates should ideally be informed that written submissions may be checked using AI detection tools. This helps with transparency and also increases the likelihood that people will use AI responsibly.
AI text detection tools are most powerful when used consistently across all applications for a given role, rather than selectively, which removes any risk of unconscious bias in who gets scrutinised. Recruiters using AI Aware are encouraged to document their use of the tool as part of their standard hiring audit trail. AI text detection also works well when combined with other techniques such as competency-based interview questions that test the skills the written submission was meant to demonstrate.
Visualisation Tool
AI Aware’s visualisation tool shows the AI content detected and whether it occurs in blocks or is dispersed. This allows you to contextualise the findings and understand the significance of AI-generated input.
Other systems give an overall percentage, which is difficult to understand. Our AI text detector goes beyond this and grades each section which means that users can get an overall view of a document and understand what is AI and what is human created.
Benefits of AI text detection for recruitment
For recruitment, an AI text detector allows you to identify AI-generated content in job applications with a high degree of accuracy. In many cases this will be ok, but AI text detection allows you to identify it in cases when it isn’t.
AI Aware has tested text detection on large quantities of varied AI output relevant to recruitment to ensure that our false positive rate is orders of magnitude lower than other products. This means you can have confidence using our detection system.
Why recruiters and hiring managers should use AI Aware
Detects AI across all candidate documents
AI Aware checks CVs, cover letters and written assessment tasks in a single workflow, giving recruitment teams a consistent, efficient screening process rather than a patchwork of different tools for different document types.
Goes beyond raw AI detection to catch humanised content
Candidates increasingly use AI rewriting tools to disguise AI-generated applications. AI Aware is trained to detect these manipulations, so a candidate cannot simply run their ChatGPT output through a paraphrasing tool and pass undetected.
Paragraph-level output supports structured interviews
Because AI Aware highlights exactly which parts of an application appear AI-generated, hiring managers can use those specific sections to design targeted interview questions. This tests whether the candidate actually holds the knowledge or skills that section claims.
Low false positive rate protects candidates and employers.
Wrongly flagging a genuinely human-written application can mean that a good candidate is not moved forward with. AI Aware’s significantly lower false positive rate means recruiters can act on results with confidence.
Market leading AI-generated content detection
AI Aware has built it’s AI text detector combining unique non-machine learning approaches with large scale machine learning to identify the differences between AI-generated and human created text.
We use various signals from human and AI content such as logic, linguistic structure and creativity to differentiate between the two.
