TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI) released new global research from its PeopleScout brand showing that while AI use in job searches is widespread, employer communication and transparency significantly lag candidate expectations. The study combines a survey of more than 1,000 job seekers across 10 markets with PeopleScout's Candidate Experience Index.
According to TrueBlue, 52% of job seekers used AI in the past six months, mainly for résumés (61%), research (56%), and interview prep (46%). Yet 64% received no response from over half of employers, and nine in ten experienced ghosting. 65% said employers never mentioned AI use, and only 25% felt very confident a human reviewed their application. Candidates rated respect for time (4.36/5), transparent process (4.28/5), and fair assessment (4.27/5) as top priorities, with negative experiences leading many to discourage others from applying, stop purchasing, or avoid the brand.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $11.4 million from $2.6 million, and SG&A expense declined 7% to $83.8 million.
