Claudia KPJust when you thought the job market couldn't get any weirder. We've all heard of fake jobs and phishing attempts. But did you know there are also fake job seekers who use AI to mask their real identity?"Scammers can use AI at almost every step in the job application process to hide their true identities. They can generate fake resumes, professional headshots, websites and LinkedIn profiles. Compiled together, AI can help create what looks like the perfect candidate for an open role. Once they're in, these fraudsters can steal company secrets or install malware. [...] According to re search and advisory firm Gartner, an estimated one in four job applicants will be fake by 2028."Not great news for genuine freelancers and job seekers who'd love to get remote roles.<a href="https://www.aol.com/fake-job-seekers-flooding-market-223548930.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aol.com/fake-job-seekers-flooding-market-223548930.html</a><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/FakeJobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FakeJobs</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scams</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/xl8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xl8</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Freelancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freelancing</a>

I've seen posts by people using bots and scripts (or just ridiculous amounts of labor) to apply for hundreds or sometimes more than a thousand <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/jobs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jobs</a> in just a few weeks.
