So just to test, loaded qwen/qwen3-v1-30b locally, and fed my 100% human-written resume and asked it "Make this resume more professional".

Mucho bullets came out.

My sentence "I specialized in enterprise data modeling and worked on Cost of Goods Sold optimizations across entire customer base." became a bullet sentence "Specialized in enterprise data modeling and performance optimization, driving $5M+ in recurring cost savings across the customer base.".

The $5M+ sure sounds awesome, and clearly the corpus of resumes lean towards metrics, but its not true and I didn't ask the model to make up numbers.

Oh and it awarded me a "Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from University of California, Berkeley | 1996 – 1998" out of thin air. My resume has a SDE job between 1996 -1998. Oh man.

Oh man is right! The making stuff up is going to make this problem even bigger.

There will be people that correct those hallucinations, in that scenario it’s “only” the applicants time that is wasted.

There will be other people that don’t correct those hallucinations, in that scenario the best case outcome is wasted time for the applicants and interviewers (who find the mistake later). The worst case scenario is people are hired who aren’t capable of doing the job and that’s all kinds of messy and inefficient for all.
