>For Bhuvana that means logging on to recruitment portals which fire questions at her before she video records her answers staring at her own reflection.
I was recently involved in grad scheme interviews. They all presented well but seemed to be lacking on the technical side. We had the after chat to go through them all.
Ended up going on a tangent on why we didn’t seem to have many with the technical skills we would expect. Head of Early Careers went through the process. “They then have to film themselves answering questions”. The Chief Engineer “that explains why we have a bunch of cars salemen with nothing behind the eyes”
Currently on a pause whilst the process is reviewed. Rumour is that it maybe canned this year. New direct entry job will go out instead which will effectively be grads but without early career being involved.

I’ve been debating building something that plugs into PC drivers, eleven labs and an LLM and putting it up on GitHub.
I just hate the idea of AI interviews; No idea who gave these ideas; but frankly it makes no sense and annoys me when I hear about this.

And again, both the interviewer and interviewee don’t know the basic maths, but they made a story.
There is a very simple theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle
In other words: if you have 10 people and 8 workplaces, then at least two people won’t work: nevertheless, AI, human “I”, or no “I” at all used in recruiting.

Good article in the times that it’s not until the 7th stage that it’s people talking to each other.
HR uses and LLM to write job advert – replied too by candidates using LLMs writing CV and Cover Letters – screened by AI for key words and short listed. – HR sends LLM interview questions to candidate to be videoed – Candidate used LLM to get answers and records scripted video – AI filters an screens to create and interview shortlist.
Only then Humans meet.

“Are AI Interviews making it harder to get a job”
Presumably not – there was one vacancy – one person gets job. Exactly the same success rate before and after use of AI tools

If you can’t be arsed to meet your candidates I can’t be arsed to work for you.

computer screening and automation are the bane of this country.
the only people that do well ar the best liars.
So every position in every company is filled not with the best person for the job, but the person who is most persuasive in their lies.
Also productivity in the UK has barely changed since we moved to computerised initial screening. 20 years ago.
Maybe the two are connected.

AI wrote the bare bones of my last job application, which I got, so it evens out I guess. Sadly I had to do the interview and make a presentation myself.

Half the guidance I’ve been given for getting work is about using the right corposlop buzzwords to make the AI assessing the applications approve, so yes.

Human Resources isn’t that and never has been. AI Resources would be more apt or just plain old Employer Resources.

The scary part of AI interviews is that companies can waste the prospective employees’ time at practically no cost to the company…
At least with human HR there’s a cost involved for the company and one would expect the bosses to have some sense of economy… Without that they have no incentive to to have candidates jumping hoops for ages.
