Ask HN: Are "% improvement" stats in resumes an AI indicator?

3•floren•1h ago
I've been reviewing a lot of resumes lately, and most of them include very detailed statistics in the previous employment sections: "improved performance by 30%", "reduced memory usage by 55.3%". I counted 14 such statistics in a recent resume, for instance.

I swear I didn't see this kind of thing the last time I was reading resumes. Is this something LLMs tend to do when writing a resume, or has everyone been keeping extremely detailed performance metrics for the last 10 years and I've missed it?

I've seen this a bit in resumes before LLMs. It seems much more likely to be an indicator of current "best practices" somewhere than LLMs. The number of significant digits on 55.3% is a bit concerning though, and having 14 percentages is also a bit weird, especially going back 10 years. I think you're probably the best guide here, and hopefully a phone screen or similar would smoke out the reality!

I've been seeing this for years, and most of the time they are either lies or, at best, half truths.
