Don’t give away your voice on LinkedIn

AI can help you write a LinkedIn profile.

But it can’t write 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 story.

- 78% 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 say they l𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘴 as a signal of genuine interest and fit.

- 62% 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐀𝐈-𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐬 that lack customization.

- 53% 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 by AI-written outreach that feels robotic.

Speeding up job applications through AI is 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦.

If your outreach sounds like a prompt… it probably reads like one, too.

Real people want real messages.

... Read moreHaving used AI tools myself to enhance LinkedIn profile writing, I’ve noticed a common pitfall: the loss of personal voice. The statistics cited in the article truly resonate with my experiences. Hiring managers and recruiters are skilled at detecting lack of authenticity, which often comes across in AI-generated content that feels too generic or robotic. From my perspective, integrating AI to assist in structuring or correcting grammar is helpful, but relying solely on AI to craft your story can backfire. Adding personal anecdotes, unique experiences, and genuine enthusiasm can make a meaningful difference. For example, when I updated my LinkedIn profile, I used AI to refine sentences but ensured every paragraph reflected my true career journey and aspirations. The phrase 'Sound human' from the OCR perfectly underscores the advice here. Real people want to connect with real stories. Instead of sending outreach messages that feel like automated prompts, I recommend customizing each message based on the recipient’s background, showing sincere interest and relevance. In addition, while AI-driven resumes might speed up application processes, they risk being overlooked if they lack customization to the job. So, don’t hesitate to tweak AI-generated content to highlight details that reflect who you are and why you’re the best fit. At the end of the day, blending AI efficiency with authentic storytelling creates a compelling LinkedIn presence that resonates more strongly with hiring managers and your network.
