LA Career Coach: AI & Ghosting Crisis Demands Strategic, Human-Centric Job Search

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- According to a new industry report, the online recruiting landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation marked by the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and persistent, frustrating communication gaps. Market-Connections Resume Services, a leading Los Angeles-based professional resume writing firm, is leveraging these findings to advise job seekers to abandon generic application tactics in favor of a highly personalized, "human-first" approach.

The "State of Online Recruiting 2025" report reveals that AI adoption by employers has soared to 25.9%, representing a nearly 429% increase since 2023. While AI is streamlining tasks like writing job ads and screening candidates, it has introduced new friction: 24.2% of employers cite inauthentic, AI-generated applications as a top concern, creating an immediate need for candidates to submit documents that demonstrate unique, verifiable human competence.

"The rise of AI means that a perfectly formatted, generic resume is now suspect," says Mandy Fard, Founder of Market-Connections Resume Services. "Our clients need sophisticated documents that are not just keyword-optimized for algorithms, but that clearly communicate authentic impact, specific achievements, and a genuine voice to the human recruiter. If an employer thinks an application is spam, they're going to ghost you."

The Dual Challenge: Ghosting and Transparency

The report underscores the continued breakdown in candidate-employer communication. 59.0% of job seekers listed being ghosted as their top challenge. This high friction is compounded by a lack of transparency from employers, with over half of candidates demanding that job postings include the salary range (57.1%) and the anticipated hiring timeline (60.5%).

"A vague job description often leads to a half-hearted application, which leads to ghosting," Fard explains. "We help job seekers craft a compelling narrative that demands attention. In a market where employers are focused on internal mobility and talent pipelines, your public profile and application materials have to be powerful enough to compete against candidates already inside the organization."

Navigating the New Standard

In a rapidly evolving job market, Mandy Fard believes specialized support is essential: "The data shows that the stakes are higher than ever. Investing in professional resume writing and career coaching is a necessity to help your application be seen and responded to."
