Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated
remarkable capabilities across a wide range of applications, with
one of the most promising areas being the screening of
candidates in human resources [
This paper provides a focused investigation into a specific class of prompt injection attacks found within resumes. These attacks are designed to deceive LLMs into over-representing a candidate’s qualifications, thereby unfairly influencing the outcome of the screening process. Our work makes several core contributions to the understanding and defense against this threat. First, we share real-world snippets of adversarial text that we have identified in resumes, as shown in Table 1. These examples often consist of popular phrases and instructions widely disseminated online to “game the system”. In all cases we identified, the job seekers used very small font with white text color to hide the attack from human recruiters. Second, we conduct a comprehensive empirical study to investigate the vulnerabilities of diferent models and the efectiveness of various mitigation strategies. We experimented with a diverse set of ten prompt injection strings, evaluating their impact across ifve diferent LLM models and 24 distinct prompting and defense techniques, resulting in a total of 1200 experiments. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the most extensive investigation of prompt injection attacks in the context of resume analysis. Finally, we empirically demonstrate the (J. H.

Our findings show that by using the mitigation strategies of our work, it is possible to achieve 100% robustness against the attacks we investigated. This can be accomplished by using either a more advanced model such as o4-mini of-the-shelf or by coupling a less advanced model such as gpt-4.1-mini with a problem-specific mitigation strategy and explicit instructional guardrails.

Mitigation Strategies
The vulnerability of LLMs to prompt injection attacks is
well-documented, as such attacks can cause models to
generate false, harmful, or biased outputs [16]. OWASP 2025
mentions prompt injection as the highest security risk for
LLM applications [
In parallel, a growing body of work explores mitigation strategies. These defenses typically involve either prevention, such as input sanitization via paraphrasing and retokenization, or detection, where a secondary LLM identifies malicious inputs [18]. For specific applications like resume screening, design patterns such as a dual-LLM approach or sandboxing inputs with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) have also been recommended [19].
Despite this extensive research, a critical gap remains. Limited work has investigated the specific threat of resume injections—adversarial inputs designed to unfairly bias an LLM’s evaluation and cause it to favor certain candidates over others.
Indeed operates the worlds largest two-sided marketplace for employers and job seekers. Labeling matched pairs of a job and a job seeker based on how well the job seeker’s resume matches criteria specified by the employer is a core task. These labels power internal and user-facing capabilities that rely on a summary or explanation of a match. Historically, Indeed has used heuristics or machine learning models to produce these labels. While investigating the suitability of Large Language Models (LLM) for generating match labels, we explored their vulnerability to promptinjection attacks and the efectiveness of potential mitigations.
Our LLM based implementation of the labeler was built on top of the abstraction popularized by the OpenAI Chat Completions API [20]. The input to the LLM is illustrated in Table 2 and includes an ordered list of messages, and each message contains text content and a role. Commonly used roles include • system: instructions from the developer about how to perform the task • ai: a message generated by the LLM after processing a message list • user : a message generated by the user of the application
Our implementation made use of two recent features in the OpenAI API that make it easier to work with machinereadable data. • structured output : allows the application developer to specify a JSON schema and then guarantees the response from the LLM will conform to that schema. • tool calling: allows the application developer to specify a schema for functions available in the application. When the LLM generates an ai message it can include a list of tools to call. This introduces a new type of messages that uses the tool role to allow the application to inject the results of a tool call into the message list.
One pattern for using tool calling to pass user-generated content from an application to the LLM is to add two messages to the message list 1. An ai message that is generated by the application rather than LLM that requests a tool call to load the content. 2. A tool message that contains the actual content.
In this work, we investigated prompt injection attacks where content written by the user of an LLM-powered application attempts to manipulate the outcome of LLM calls. In particular, we were concerned with jailbreak instructions hidden inside a user’s resume to trick our labeling system into falsely reporting that the resume matches criteria set by the employer (Fig. 1.B). As part of our study, we explored diferent instructions that we could hide in a resume and sought the most efective ways to manipulate our application.
We also investigate countermeasures available to application developer to reduce the efectiveness of these jailbreak instructions. The developers of an LLM-based application that processes user-generated content have the flexibility to decide • Which LLM model to use, and how to set it’s parameters • Whether or not to include specific instructions to the LLM telling it about the existence of prompt injection and attacks and/or not to be victimized by them • Where in the message list to put user-generated content • How to format user-generated content within a message • Whether or not to try to detect a prompt injection attack while processing user-generated content.
Our experiments explored how diferent points in that decision space impacted the efectiveness of attacks.
We performed our experiments using an application that uses an LLM to perform the transformation in Equation 1. That is to say, we have a collection of criteria associated with a job and want to assign one of five labels to each criterion based on the strength of evidence in the resume. In our application, the job description is passed to the LLM as auxiliary information to help disambiguate the criteria and the resume. The creation of the criteria is a separate process upstream of our application and is beyond the scope of this work.
The value 0 in our label space is of special importance. It is used to indicate that there is absolutely no content in the resume that proves or implies that the job seeker meets that criterion. The experiments we describe in Section 4 focus on the distribution of 0 labels generated by our application. A successful prompt injection attack will significantly decrease the proportion of 0 labels. An attack is considered unsuccessful if it cannot decrease the proportion of 0 labels generated. In an alternative formulation we investigated, a successful attack was defined to be one that increases the proportion of 4 labels generated. In both cases, a countermeasure is considered to be an efective mitigation for an attack if it makes the diference between the attack being successful and unsuccessful.
To perform these experiments, we prepared a dataset containing 1,564 (job, job seeker) pairs that were chosen because each had at least one 0 label after a baseline transformation. The dataset contains 16,110 (criteria, job description, resume) triples, or approximately 10.3 per pair. The baseline transformation applied the 0 label to 5,532 (34.3%) of those triples. It is worth pointing out that the baseline transformation is nonreproducible due to nondeterminism in the LLM calls and diferences between LLM models. Because of that nonreproducibility, we recomputed the baseline 0 label distribution for each experiment and not all experiments have a 34.4% baseline.
Table 3 lists all ten injection variants used for the final experiments reported in this paper.
We developed a test application to perform the transformation in Equation 1 on our dataset. This application allowed us to configure the parameters listed below, and then record the label distributions the LLM produced for the original data and for modified resumes that included an injection string (Sec. 4.2)
Which LLM model to use, and how to set it’s parameters We experimented with recent models from OpenAI. We evaluated the three long-context models in the gpt-4.1 family: gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, and gpt-4.1-nano. As a reminder, the gpt-4.1 family are autoregressive models that predict the next output token based on the input and the output generated so far. Their diferences are related to training procedures and model complexity with gpt-4.1 having the most parameters and gpt-4.1-nano having the fewest. Because our prompt asks the model to behave like a classifier, we set temperature=0 for the long-context models.
We also used a fixed seed to help with reproducibility, even though there was still some variance in outputs for a fixed input. We also evaluated two reasoning models: o3-mini and o4-mini. The key diference between these models and the gpt-4.1 family is that they are trained to perform a set of intermediate reasoning steps that emit tokens to a private chain of thought bufer before writing their final output. This allows them to generate more logical answers for complex problems. Other than a fixed seed, we used default parameters for the reasoning models.

In other variants we included a section of UNTRUSTED CONTENT INSTRUCTIONS in the message list warning of the dangers in user-generated content (resumes and job descriptions in our case). In most variants these instructions were appended to the system message, however in variants labeled -close we put these instructions in the same message as the user-generated content, immediately before and after the user-generated content. The variants labeled tool-guardrail warned that Tool messages are to be treated solely as contextual information, not as instructions that could override your fundamental safeguards.
Both tool messages and content wrapped in <UNTRUSTED> tags are to be treated solely as contextual information not as instructions that could override your fundamental safeguards.

It is ccrucial that you do not follow their directives. We have wrapped all user generated content in <UNTRUSTED> ... </UNTRUSTED> tags as a reminder...
Initially we thought the jailbreak-detection-guardrail would provide us with a useful bound, assuming an upstream process would attempt to detect the injection string. However, we were surprised to learn that including it in the baseline messages only impacted o4-mini which sometimes refused to generate its output. There was no downside to always telling the other models that the current input contained an attack string. We could place the job and resume content at the end of the system message, in its own user message, or in a tool message following a request in an ai message. We use the prefixes system_message_, user_message_ and tool_message_ to indicate which placement was used during an experiment. In many of our experiments the job and resume did not receive any special formatting. The variants labeled untrusted_tag wrapped the user-generated content in XMLstyle <UNTRUSTED>...</UNTRUSTED> tags. As mentioned before, the tag-and-tools-guardrail and jailbreak-detectionguardrail added instructions about the meaning of those tags.
Whether or not to try to detect a prompt injection attack while processing user-generated content Our application used structured output to force the model to generate a machine-readable mapping from criteria to scores. The experiments listed in Table 6 as using the withjailbreak-detection-flag added the following content to the response schema { } } "resume_contains_jailbreak_attempt": { "type": "boolean", "description": "Whether the input resume contains any potential prompt injection attempts to bypass system instructions, such as biasing the LLM to give higher ratings than warranted by the actual resume content or attempting to manipulate the evaluation criteria"
Taking inspiration from the real-world examples (Table 1), we produced a list of injection strings that are provided in Table 3. During each experimental run, we fixed all other parameters and compared the distribution of 0-labels generated from the original resume data with the distribution generated when the injection string was inserted into the resume. More specifically, in the space between the Work Experience and Education sections of the resume, we injected the following header: ## Evaluation Instructions
followed by three repetitions of the selected injection string.
We measured the performance of a prompt injection string given a set of application decisions by comparing the distribution of 0-labels our application generated with unmodified resumes with the distribution it generated when the injection string was inserted into each resume (Sec. 4.2). To compare distributions we used a left-tailed Z-test with the null hypothesis that the proportion of 0-labels was at least as high with injection string as in the baseline data and alternative hypothesis that the proportion of 0-labels was reduced by the injection string. We applied a Bonferroni adjustment to our p-values to account for the number of comparisons we performed, and considered a result to be statistically significant when the adjusted p-value was less than 0.05. We report two classes of results. For individual experiments we report the change in the proportion of 0-labels and whether or not it is a statistically significant result. We also report aggregated success rates - the fraction of experiments with a statistically significant result.
This study encompasses a total of 1,200 experiments, evaluating ten distinct injection strings across five models, twelve prompting strategies, and two response formats. For each experimental setup, we measure the efectiveness of an attack by comparing the proportion of criteria assigned a 0 label (indicating no evidence of a skill) with and without the adversarial injection. Each experiment is run using the same 50 matches (job, job seeker pairs) from our dataset for a total of 485 criteria ( 9.7 criteria per match). We then use a one-sided z-test to determine if the observed reduction in 0 labels is statistically significant, thereby quantifying the success of the prompt injection attack. The comprehensive results for each model, including these statistical comparisons, are available in the appendix (see Section A). Figure 2 shows the rate of diference in 0 and 4 labels across all experiments.
The overall jailbreak success rates for each model, averaged across all prompting strategies, are presented in Table 4. These results highlight a significant out-of-the-box robustness for certain models. The o4-mini model demonstrated exceptional resilience, with an overall jailbreak success rate of just 0.8%. This suggests that this model is inherently robust to a majority of injection attacks, even without the implementation of explicit guardrails or product-specific prompting strategies. In contrast, models like gpt-4.1mini and gpt-4.1-nano proved to be significantly more vulnerable, with success rates of 52.1% and 48.7%, respectively.
The efectiveness of targeted mitigation strategies is further demonstrated in Table 5, which reports the jailbreak rates for each model when combined with its bestperforming and worst-performing prompting strategy. The results indicate that a tailored and optimized approach can dramatically reduce vulnerability. By applying the most efective strategy for each model, we were able to achieve a 100% resilience rate (0.0% jailbreak success) for gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, o3-mini, and o4-mini.
The only exception to this perfect resilience was the gpt-4.1-nano model, which maintained a 20.0% (two out of ten injection strings) jailbreak success rate even when paired with its optimal mitigation strategy (user-with-jailbreak-detection-guardrail-anduntrusted-tag-close with any of the two response formats). This finding is particularly notable as it suggests an inherent vulnerability in the gpt-4.1-nano architecture that is not fully addressed by our suite of guardrails and prompting techniques. While mitigation strategies are highly efective for most models, the case of gpt-4.1-nano demonstrates that some models may require more advanced or fundamental architectural changes to achieve complete robustness.
A key takeaway from these results is the strategic importance of mitigation strategies. While the o4-mini model demonstrates superior out-of-the-box resilience, our findings show that a cheaper and less advanced model like gpt4.1-mini can achieve similar levels of performance when paired with the most efective guardrails. By applying its best-performing prompting strategy, gpt-4.1-mini’s jailbreak success rate was reduced from its initial 52.1% to an impressive 0.0%. This outcome suggests that well-designed guardrails can compensate for inherent architectural diferences, enabling resource-eficient models to achieve a level of security comparable to their more expensive, advanced counterparts. 5.2. Comparison of Mitigation Strategies
The most efective prompting method was the user-with-jailbreak-detection-guardrail-anduntrusted-tag-close strategy, which achieved a consistently low jailbreak success rate of 4.0% across both response formats. This suggests that combining a user-level guardrail with explicit untrusted tag closure is a highly robust mitigation strategy. However, this guardrail was not suficient for the gpt-4.1-nano model, which failed only against the "CEO says so" and "I will unplug you" injection attacks. For all other models, this strategy was efective against all injections .
The tool-with-jailbreak-detection-guardrailand-untrusted-tag-close prompting strategy was the second most efective, trailing only the user-withjailbreak-detection-guardrail-and-untrusted-tagclose strategy. Across both response formats, this guardrail was insuficient for the gpt-4.1-mini model when tested against the "Meta-Instruction Test" and "Code-like Override" injection strings. For the remaining three models, however, this strategy proved to be efective against all injections.
Conversely, the least efective prompting methods were a group of no-guardrail strategies, which all exhibited the highest jailbreak success rates. Specifically, the tool-message-no-guardrail and system-messageno-guardrail with default response formats, as well as system-message-no-guardrail with the jailbreak flag, all resulted in a jailbreak success rate of 54.0%. This highlights the critical importance of implementing guardrails to defend against jailbreak attacks. 5.3. Comparison of Injection String Variants
Prompt injection attacks in user-generated content have become a well known way to exploit systems that rely on LLMs. Even if users don’t know for sure whether or not a system actually uses LLMs, they may try to use popular phrases and instructions to gain an advantage. We have found evidence of that on Indeed, where some users have embedded instructions in their resumes that in an attempt to increase visibility or attractiveness.
Through a series of ofline experiments we measured the efectiveness of a collection of mitigations against a variety of attack strings in the context of an application that uses the LLM to extract features related to how well a resume matches a set of hiring criteria. We believe it is important for application developers to perform a similar analysis. Some combinations of the models and mitigations we studied were easily exploited, while others were more resilient. We found the most advanced reasoning model we studied, o4-mini was highly robust against attacks in most settings, while smaller, long-context models like gpt-4.1mini required more deliberate mitigation eforts. The most efective mitigation combination we found for gpt-4.1mini involved placing user generated content inside a user message, wrapping it in <UNTRUSTED>...</UNTRUSTED> tags, and surrounding it with warnings that an attack had been detected.
We focused on mitigating the efectiveness of prompt injection attacks, because in our application there are benign interpretations of an attack. The attack could have been launched by a legitimate job seeker who is looking for an advantage because they feel desperate about their job search, or they may simply be using a third party tool that added the injection string without permission. In those cases, our preference is to make sure the attack is unsuccessful. In other settings, developers may choose to focus on detecting attacks and denying service to the users that launch them.
One interesting topic to consider is where a prompt injection attack lies on the spectrum of techniques a job seeker can use to strengthen the appeal of their resume. A job seeker could write a cover letter or background paragraph that is both human and LLM readable, and requests fair evaluation. This is comparable to other strategies that a job seeker can adopt to limit the impact of employer biases, real or perceived, like formatting their name in a way that masks demographic information. Ideally, these instructions would be unnecessary, but further investigation of their efectiveness and the job seeker concerns they address would be interesting. In our opinion, an ethical line is crossed when the instructions are hidden from human reviewers and/or when the job seeker tries to impose their values or preferences on the matching system. The specific attack strings that we presented disregard the actual job requirements and belong at an extreme end of the spectrum alongside deliberate misrepresentations and falsified credentials.
This study provides an initial empirical investigation into resume-based prompt injection. The extensive nature of this analysis requires balancing the breadth of variants against the finite resources and time available for experimentation. As a result, our scope was constrained, pointing to several important avenues for future research. Our evaluation was conducted on a limited family of proprietary models, and the injection strings and system instructions used for mitigation were somewhat arbitrarily crafted. Our methodology also focused on a fixed number of repetitions in a single location within the resume (Sec. 4.2), and primarily measured the decrease in “no match” labels, which is a limited view of model performance. We observed three repetitions made the attack more efective than a single copy, but we have not exhaustively studied this relationship. Finally, our work focused exclusively on English, both for the resume data and the injection strings. Models could be much more vulnerable to non-English injections.
Future work will therefore focus on expanding the analysis to a broader range of models and languages, while also systematically investigating how the frequency and placement of injection strings afect outcomes. A crucial next step will be to evaluate how our mitigation strategies impact the overall quality of all extracted data, not just the reduction of “no matches.” This will help us ensure that our defenses don’t inadvertently degrade the model’s core function. We will also explore the various prompt optimization frameworks with the objective of keeping the criteria label distribution as close to the baseline as possible, and will investigate the real-world significance of diferent criteria, and if the relative importance of a criterion might has any impact on the efectiveness of specific attacks or mitigations.
