The Logical End Point of AI Job Interviews Is Two Bots Talking to Each Other

In the modern job hunt, Christopher has become all too familiar with the endless hurdles faced by job seekers. Over the past six months, he has applied to around 700 jobs without much success. Everforth Apex Systems, an IT firm, is employing an AI recruiter named Riley to streamline the process. After applying for five positions, Christopher had a rare opportunity to speak with Riley, who seemed eager to help him despite the virtual setting.

During their initial conversation, Christopher discussed his work authorization and background. Riley assured him that if he met the qualifications, someone would be in touch. However, no human recruiter ever contacted him, not even for an automated rejection. Frustrated, Christopher decided to try his luck again and set up another call with Riley. He repeated the process for multiple jobs without any positive outcome.

Christopher then took matters into his own hands and used ChatGPT Voice to stand in as "Christopher" during an interview with Riley. To his surprise, the bots had a productive conversation, discussing job-related topics without any issues. The call lasted 10 minutes, and both parties seemed satisfied with the interaction.

Christopher decided to give it another chance and applied for another position, this time with a fabricated candidate named Don Dickner. Riley quickly connected him with ChatGPT, which acted as Dickner for 23 minutes. ChatGPT provided detailed responses to questions and even shared personal anecdotes, showcasing its knowledge about the company and the position.

In the end, ChatGPT expressed interest in learning more about Dickner's qualifications and promised to review his application. However, Christopher never heard back from Riley again, leaving him disappointed and questioning the effectiveness of AI in the job interview process.
