How do I recognise if a job posting was generated with AI?

Increasingly difficult — but there are signals. WEF Future of Jobs 2025 shows that 45% of companies already use AI in recruiting processes, sometimes for job postings. Typical AI patterns in job postings: very generic descriptions without company context, identical wording to other postings, excessively long requirements lists without prioritisation, missing genuine company personality. EU AI Act: companies using AI for personnel decisions must make this transparent under certain conditions. NIST AI RMF emphasises documentation obligations. Practical recommendation: whether AI-generated or not — personalise your application to the position anyway. Responding with copy-paste to a copy-paste posting loses.
