AI Interviews: Unlocking the Future of Hiring
AI interviews are revolutionizing the hiring process, albeit with mixed reactions from job seekers. Today’s job market sees AI stepping into the roles traditionally reserved for human HR professionals, making the job application process a blend of efficiency and impersonality. Your first interview might be a “robot interview.”
AI Interviews Are Expanding Everywhere
Companies are increasingly relying on AI to conduct job interviews, a trend accelerated by the pandemic’s push for digital solutions. A survey from Resume Builder predicted that by 2024, 40% of companies would use AI to interact with candidates, with 15% making hiring decisions without human intervention. This shift aims to streamline recruitment, allowing AI systems to handle mundane tasks like scanning resumes or conducting initial interviews.
However, phone-based AI interviews might feel unsettlingly robotic. AI can ask relevant questions but lacks the human touch, often interrupting or misinterpreting responses, leaving candidates unheard and undervalued.
This also expands to video-based interviews. You need to record yourself answering a set of questions. It can also feel quite cold without any human interaction.
