AI in hiring: your rights and tips
Many employers use software to sort CVs and screen interviews, so write clearly for both the machine and the person, and ask how decisions are made.
01 · The idea
Companies with many applicants often use software to scan CVs for skills and job titles, rank candidates, or score recorded video answers. A human usually decides at the end, but not always early on.
Help the machine read you. Use a simple layout, clear headings, plain job titles, and the real skills listed in the job ad, as long as you truly have them. Fancy designs and text inside images can be skipped.
You can ask whether AI is used in the process, what data is kept, and whether a person reviews rejections. Data protection rules in Vietnam and many other countries give you rights over your personal data. For legal questions, ask a lawyer or the labour authority.
Using AI to polish your CV is fine. Inventing experience is not, and it tends to come out in the interview.
