More and more work interviews are with an AI and more and more candidates refuse to have them

One of the sectors in which AI is penetrating more quickly is in human resources. We have been talking to you for months that many candidates looking for employment were surprised that His interviewer was an AI. They were not isolated cases, more and more companies are using in their selection processes and there are already those who are refusing to be interviewed by a bot.

What’s happening. If you are looking for work, it is possible that the interview is made by a bot fed by AI. It is a growing trend that arises from a problem: the departments of human resources are increasingly limited They often have to interview hundreds of candidates. Using AI to filter the best profiles is presented as a solution. The problem is that candidates are not liking anything.

Candidates against. They tell it in Fortunethere are more and more interviews made by AI and the reaction of the interviewees is being quite negative. “I do not want to work for a company in which the RRHH head does not even take the trouble to spend some time to talk to me,” said Debra Borchardt, one of the interviewees. He did not have to wait long to form an opinion, as soon as he connected he caused him rejection: “I don’t like this. It’s horrible,” he recalls.

The truth is that the experiences describing some candidates are quite mediocre, with bots that limit themselves to reciting the curriculum and ask questions, but are not able to answer if the candidates have a doubt. Sometimes they even begin to hallucinate and They repeat questions without stopping. This makes many candidates get out of the interviews before they finish and others reject participating in selection processes with AI.

Companies in favor. For companies that are using these interviewers, the experience is being more than positive. Adam Jackson, CEO of Braintrustthe company that is dedicated to creating these bots, assures Fortune that there is no generalized rejection by the candidates. If “our clients would not find the tool useful (…) and we are not seeing that, but quite the opposite.” For those responsible for hiring, AI saves them having to interview hundreds of candidates “ago 100 interviews and tells you what have been the best ten, there the human takes control,” says Jackson, although he also recognizes that the interviewers are limited.

Increasingly. According to summarize data91% of those responsible for hiring used AI in their work especially to summarize curriculum and schedule interviews. IA interviewers are the next step and more and more companies are adopting them. Although most cases reach us from the United States, there are Spanish companies that They are using the Telefónica Tech And there is also startups creating solutions of this type. It seems that we like it or not, the interviewers AI They have come to stay.

Candidates also use AI. It is not just a human resources thing, there are also candidates Using AI to overcome selection processes. In Reddit we can read from cases of people who admit to having used chatgpt in an interview even human interviewers who have encountered candidates who They responded with the help of a chatbotwhich caused him to discard it from the process.
