What AI Skills Should Hiring Employers Look For?

SPOTTING AI SKILLS IN CANDIDATES ISN’T ALWAYS EASY

The hardest part of hiring for AI literacy is distinguishing genuine fluency from buzzword regurgitation. Recent research from recruiting company Greenhouse shows that 32% of candidates admit to having claimed AI experience they don’t actually have, often using boilerplate language copied from ChatGPT itself.

To filter out the noise, hiring teams should look for evidence-based indicators: Concrete examples Has the candidate used AI to improve real outcomes? Ask for details, including tools, context, and results. Curiosity and learning mindset Do they follow AI developments, experiment with new tools, or take relevant courses? Risk awareness Can candidates articulate when not to trust AI or when human review is essential?
