I Was Interviewed by an AI Bot for a Job

2 days ago

Hayden Field tried out three AI interviewers for various jobs, some based on her current position and others from real job listings at Vox Media.
The AI interview platforms varied in how natural they felt, but Hayden consistently wished she was talking to a human instead.
Hayden believes the downsides of AI interviewers outweigh the benefits for job seekers, citing lack of conversational flow and inability to share anecdotes that could help borderline candidates.
AI interviewers are trained on models with implicit bias and can lead to more interviews since they don’t require human involvement, potentially wasting candidates' time.
Interviews are also an opportunity for candidates to learn about the company, and a dehumanizing interview process may indicate poor treatment post-hire.
