Does an AI detector work on incoming applications?
Honest answer: not reliable enough to reject someone on. Detectors get it wrong regularly.
Try this first
- 1Detectors output a probability, not a fact. False positives are common, especially for non-native English or Dutch.
- 2What you see in practice: clearly AI-polished text. That is not a problem, people use AI to write better.
- 3Judge on substance, not style. Ask for concrete examples of what they did in past roles, an AI cannot fill that in.
- 4A short practical task or case interview tells you much more than a detector score. That comes with 2026.
- 5Be transparent: 'we do not use AI detectors when hiring' is a more honest line than rejecting on a shaky score.
When to bring us in
Discrimination concerns or objections from rejected candidates about AI use in hiring: that is employment law, bring in a lawyer.
