How to use AI to boost your job prospects in 2025
In the past, if you wanted to apply for a job or even start the process of sussing out the job market, you needed to do a considerable amount of research and work.
From researching companies to crafting a CV and cover letter from scratch, and formatting both even though design isn’t your forte, it’s likely you put in several hours before even hitting the apply button.
However, thanks to the rise of generative and agentic artificial intelligence (AI), you no longer need to toil to the same extent. From ChatGPT to Claude, and Robin by Amply, there’s an AI tool for every stage of the job searching process.

And it’s not just job seekers who are tapping into AI to streamline their process—from sourcing candidates to accelerating the recruitment cycle by conducting initial screening interviews, businesses are also leaning on AI to save time and money.
So, with the above in mind, we’re detailing the different ways you can use AI to boost your 2025 job search.
Your research assistant
Forget traditional search engines and trawling through web pages to research companies hiring or the job market-at-large.
These days, you can find out a wealth of information from your AI platform of choice. From asking for a summary of information to asking your AI tool to compare and contrast different companies or roles, you can get a critical analysis in seconds.
Or, why not play around with your prompts to find out more detailed information about certain aspects of the company or role? From role playing where you ask the chatbot to take on a persona and answer questions in this voice to asking the chatbot to explain things to you as if you were a five-year-old, there are lots of innovative ways to conduct your research.
Your CV builder
If the idea of staring at a blank page on a screen fills you with dread, you’re in luck because AI can help you create a CV in seconds. If you’re prepared to pay a monthly fee, there are a number of CV builder websites that use AI to write and design CVs and cover letters.
Or, if you have a CV and cover letter already on file, you can upload it to ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity and ask it to rewrite your CV based on a specific job description. Just remember to update your privacy settings beforehand.
While this undoubtedly ensures accuracy, it’s important to remember that you should always tweak the content so that it doesn’t sound wooden or formulaic. This is because recruiters are increasingly looking out for the common tell-tale signs that a CV has been written exclusively by AI.

Your recruitment agent
If 2024 was the year generative AI entered public discourse, 2025 looks set to be the year of agentic AI. Essentially an AI system that can autonomously take action and solve multi-step problems, with limited human oversight, agentic AI is particularly relevant in the recruitment industry.
For example, Robin from Amply is a conversational AI job search agent designed to help you locate your next role by simplifying the process. You can ask Robin to help you find a job based on your skills, career aspirations or location, or upload your CV and allow it to parse the information to locate the most suitable jobs based on your skills and experience.
Your networking side-kick
Whether you’re reaching out to professional peers via LinkedIn or have an in-person networking event coming down the tracks, preparing an elevator pitch of sorts so you can convey who you are and what you do in one succinct sentence is essential.
While this may sound simple, it can be quite difficult to cram all the important information into one sentence, however AI can help.
Simply ask your AI platform of choice to create a professional summary for you based on your CV or your LinkedIn profile and then ask it to create a script you can use at networking events or when reaching out to people online.
