Your next job interview could be with a robot
More companies are using AI-led video interviews to assess job candidates before a human recruiter even meets them, Axios’ Joann Muller reports.
- Some automated programs evaluate not just on answers to questions, but sometimes on facial expressions, intonation and word choice.
Why it matters: Automated interviews expand the candidate pool and can root out bias in interviews, but job applicants complain they’re dehumanizing and stressful.
- Between the lines:AI systems are also vulnerable to bias because data used to train prediction models may be limited, or because they reflect the biases of humans involved in training them.
How it works: Caron Mitchell was recently invited to an “asynchronous video interview” for a job as a senior account manager at a tech-training startup.
- The interview began with a brief,pre-recorded message from the company’s co-founder, explaining the firm’s mission.
- There were just four questions.She had 30 seconds to read each question and two minutes to answer.
The other side: “Everything is moving to chat,” Kevin Parker, ex-CEO and now an adviser at HireVue, a leading video interview company, tells Axios.
- Someone looking for a new jobmight scan a QR code on a hiring poster Saturday night, kicking off a chatbot conversation about their experience and an invitation to apply with a video interview on Sunday.
- “You can complete the entire application processbefore work starts Monday morning — all while your interest is high.”
