🚨 Do LLM-generated cover letters help job-seekers, and do they distort hiring decisions?
Answer: They improve overall cover letter quality but do NOT increase chances for interviews. Recruiters prefer genuine motivation and experience—areas where ChatGPT struggles.

A 🧵:

🚨 Conclusion: As LLMs become more prevalent, understanding their nuanced effects on labor market signaling is crucial. Future hiring processes must account for these complexities to remain fair and efficient.

[Giuseppe Musillo @g_musillo]

Using experimental data, we built a labor market model to quantify impacts. We find that LLM-driven distortions can reduce overall hiring efficiency by up to 6%, as recruiters begin discounting signals across the board due to suspicion of AI-generated content.
