According to a report from CharityJob, almost two thirds of job applicants are using AI in their applications, mostly to help with covering letters.
The covering letter used to be an opportunity to differentiate yourself and add some personality into your application, but that seems to have largely disappeared.
Would it be helpful to share the link with those who recruit and conduct interviews in your charity, to help you be more aware and prepared?
The report is available at https://www.charityjob.co.uk/recruiterinsights/resource/charityjob-perspectives-on-ai-in-charity-sector-recruitment-2026/ if you don’t mind sharing some personal data and having someone call you.
