A recent survey by Global Work AI, a U.S.-based job search platform, found that 71% of job seekers now consider AI assistance in resume optimization helpful, a significant shift from the company's previous survey in 2025 when 71% preferred a hands-on approach without AI tools. The survey also revealed that 80% of respondents said their resumes need improvement and expressed openness to integrating AI tools to strengthen them.
Why it matters
As more companies turn to applicant tracking systems and AI-powered hiring, the ability to create optimized resumes that align with job requirements has become increasingly important for job seekers. This survey highlights the growing acceptance of AI-powered resume assistance, which can help job seekers remain competitive and visible to human recruiters in an increasingly automated hiring landscape.
The details
The Global Work AI survey found that 73% of respondents would trust AI to make text adjustments to their resumes, such as keyword matching, while 83% said they are comfortable with structural changes like resume layout or section order. Additionally, the survey revealed that 60% of resumes do not fully align with the jobs they target, and only half of respondents said they maintain multiple versions of their resumes to showcase transferable skills and experience.
- The survey was conducted in February 2026.
- Global Work AI's previous survey on this topic was conducted in August and September 2025.
