Job search: Would you have a job interview with a robot?
Interviews with AI recruiters are intended to make the application process faster and fairer. This proves to be quite helpful for entrepreneurs. But what is it like for the applicants on screen?
A German job seeker, Felix Müller, had an online interview with a Swedish food company and was surprised to see an avatar instead of a human. The virtual recruiter asked standard questions but Müller found the interaction unconvincing. Some German companies are now using AI recruiters, like the one Müller encountered, for initial interviews with applicants.
These AI recruiters can conduct hundreds of interviews simultaneously, 24/7, in multiple languages, saving companies time and money. However, it's unclear how job seekers feel about interacting with AI instead of humans in the initial stages of the hiring process.
