UK employers report record graduate misconduct in job applications, mostly unauthorised AI use
Overview
The Institute of Student Employers says 92% of UK employers suspected or confirmed graduate misconduct in applications and assessments in its annual survey, a new high.
The most common form was unauthorised AI use during interviews and online assessments, which 66% of respondents reported at least one case of.
The institute's chief, Isherwood, says that any drop in graduate hiring has been driven by overall economic conditions, not the adoption of AI, even though AI has been widely expected to reduce demand for entry-level workers by automating tasks.
