Jobsuche: Würden Sie ein Bewerbungsgespräch mit einem Roboter führen?
Interviews mit KI-Recruitern sollen Bewerbungsprozesse schneller und fairer machen. Für Unternehmer erweist sich das als durchaus hilfreich. Aber wie ist es für die Bewerber am Bildschirm?
Düsseldorf – Felix Müller* recently participated in an online interview for a position with a Swedish food company. Instead of speaking to a real person, Müller interacted with a virtual recruiter on screen. The avatar asked him standard questions: "What are your strengths and weaknesses? And where do you see yourself in five years?" The avatar's mouth moved while it spoke, but it did not feel genuine, Müller recalls. It was akin to speaking with a telephone bot one might encounter on customer service hotlines.
Müller is not alone in his experience. German companies are increasingly using AI recruiters for initial interviews with job seekers. These programs enable companies to interview hundreds of applicants simultaneously, day or night. KI-recruiters never tire or fall ill, and they can converse fluently in multiple languages. They help companies filter out a large number of applicants, saving time and money for human personnel managers.
However, the question arises: how does it feel for job seekers when the first contact with a company is through an artificial intelligence rather than a human? Could AI interviews discourage the most qualified candidates from applying? Are companies ultimately paying for increased efficiency at the expense of their reputation?
