在招聘公司摩根麦肯利（Morgan McKinley）进行的一项新调查中，超过一半的英国雇主表示他们并未使用人工智能（AI）来进行招聘；而在所调查的七个市场中，这一比例仅为36%。这表明英国雇主在采用AI技术方面最为谨慎——不过这一数据是基于少数企业的样本得出的。
More than half of UK employers in a new survey by recruitment firm Morgan McKinley said they do not use AI to hire, compared with 36% across all seven markets polled. That makes the UK the most cautious in the group, though its figure rests on a small number of companies.
2026年第三季度，摩根麦肯利向其客户和求职者发放了调查问卷，共收到2,106份回复，其中只有144份来自雇主，而这些雇主中大约五分之一来自英国。因此，实际使用AI进行招聘的英国雇主数量约为27家（该公司自己也承认了这一数字）。
In the third quarter of 2026, Morgan McKinley sent out the survey to its clients and candidates and received 2,106 responses; of these, only 144 were submitted by employers, and about one-fifth of them were from the UK. The number of UK employers therefore amounts to around 27, a figure which the company itself admits.
英国求职者同样持谨慎态度：23%的求职者表示，如果自己的简历或求职信需要经过AI评估，他们将大大降低申请意愿；另有28%的求职者持相同观点。此外，27%的求职者表示他们不信任AI来决定最终的工作人选。
British job seekers were also more cautious. While 23% of them as a whole said that being assessed by AI would make them far less likely to apply, 28% said the same thing. Moreover, 27% of them stated that they would not trust AI to help decide who gets the job.
尽管如此，求职者在求职过程中对AI的依赖度仍然很高：在所有行业中，78%的求职者会在求职过程中使用生成式AI技术（主要用于撰写或修改简历、求职信，或为面试做准备）。只有5%的求职者愿意完全让AI来做出招聘决定，而44%的求职者愿意接受AI与人结合后得出的招聘结果。
The use of this technology by candidates remains high. In all sectors, 78 percent use generative AI when looking for work, mainly to write or edit their CVs and cover letters, or to prepare for interviews. Just 5 percent would allow the AI to make a hiring decision on its own, while 44 percent would be willing to accept a decision reached by the AI in conjunction with a human.
摩根麦肯利英国分公司的高级董事总经理克里斯·劳顿（Chris Lawton）指出：“AI正在迅速成为日常工作的一部分，但调查结果揭示了求职者对工作被AI取代的担忧与雇主在AI应用方面的态度之间存在明显差距。现在的挑战在于如何将这种趋势转化为有效的劳动力管理策略。”
“AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday working life, but our findings show a clear gap between employee concerns about job replacement and how employers are approaching AI.”“The challenge now is turning that intention into meaningful workforce strategy,” said Chris Lawton, UK Senior Managing Director, Morgan McKinley UK.
这种AI技术的应用给英国雇主带来了不少麻烦：四成雇主表示，求职者使用AI后，他们的技能和背景变得更加难以核实；另有四分之一的雇主表示，求职申请数量的增加拖慢了招聘流程。
That use is causing problems for UK employers, as four in ten said candidates’ use of AI makes their skills and backgrounds harder to verify, and a quarter said a rise in applications is slowing the screening process.
在总共1,962名受访者中，62%的受访者每天都会使用AI技术，15%的受访者每周使用一次AI，70%的受访者认为AI技术让他们的工作变得更加便捷。不过也有约四分之一的受访者表示，他们需要花费更多时间来验证AI生成的内容的真实性。
Of the 1,962 employees surveyed, 62% use AI every day, another 15% use it weekly, and 70% say it makes their jobs easier. About a quarter now spend more time checking what AI produces.
只有四分之一的受访者表示，他们的雇主在人工智能技能方面的投入充足，而近三分之一的受访者表示他们完全没有得到任何支持，因此只能在工作时间之外自学。
Just one in four respondents said that their employer invests sufficiently in their AI skills, while almost one-third stated that they receive no support whatsoever and are therefore teaching themselves outside work hours.
近一半（具体为46%）的员工担心人工智能可能会取代他们的工作。
Almost fifty percent of employees, specifically 46 percent, are afraid that AI might take their jobs.
克里斯·劳顿（Chris Lawton）表示：“招聘是这一转型已经产生影响的另一个领域。随着求职者越来越多地在求职过程中使用人工智能，而雇主也在努力核实候选人的技能和经验，企业将需要在利用人工智能的优势与保持透明度和人工监督之间取得平衡。随着人工智能越来越深入地融入人们寻找和获得工作的过程中，建立信任将变得至关重要。”
“Recruitment is another area where that transition is already being felt. As candidates increasingly use AI in their job searches and employers grapple with verifying skills and experience, organisations will need to balance the benefits of AI with transparency and human oversight. Building trust will be critical as AI becomes more embedded in how people find and secure work,” said Chris Lawton.
另一方面，雇主报告的影响则较小：64%的雇主表示人工智能并未影响员工人数，7%的雇主表示有所减少，13%的雇主表示人工智能阻碍了他们增加员工的计划。
Employers, on the other hand, report a less significant impact: 64 percent stated that AI has not affected the number of employees, 7 percent noted reductions, and 13 percent said it had prevented them from making plans to increase their workforce.
其他研究也发现英国企业持类似的谨慎态度。德勤（Deloitte）7月份的一项调查发现，英国大型企业对人工智能的态度正变得更加乐观，但在支出方面仍保持严格控制。
Other research has found similar caution among British businesses. A Deloitte survey in July found large UK companies growing more optimistic about AI while keeping a tight grip on spending.
