My latest video I talked about the latest pivot I'm making for my startup and it was definitely quite the controversial video. TLDR is that I'm creating an AI recruiter such that when a candidate applies to a job they hop on a quick 10-15min interview with an AI interviewer where they talk more about their experience/sell themselves to the company more. There were LOTS of opinions in my comments about how some people don't love the idea of an AI interviewer, but I'm genuinely curious to hear more thoughts from you all because there is a bit of a disconnect in my brain about the negative reaction towards it.
On one hand I understand the perspective that AI interviewing sucks/can be seen as a "de-humanizing recruiting experience" but my devil's advocate POV is that this allows candidates to speak about themselves/vouch for themselves beyond just a simple resume screen which is, imo, the most extreme case of a de-humanizing job application experience. One single piece of paper to determine whether you get an in person interview or not is a crazy concept that is very much so the norm today. Yes, in an ideal world every single candidate would get an in person interview but if a company gets 1000+ applications per job listing (which is not uncommon) this is legit impossible to do. Not trying to be very defensive I'm just very curious to hear your thoughts! I understand that this would be a really bad solution if it completely got rid of ever human interview experience, but isn't being able to vouch for yourself/sell your story in a 10-15min AI interview better than just uploading your resume and never hearing back again? This would be just be one part of the interview process — a human interview would definitely still come afterwards.
Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on this because in my opinion this is a win for the candidate, particularly non traditional candidates who may not look "great" on paper but have all the skills to be a great fit for the job.
