Jobsuche: Würden Sie ein Bewerbungsgespräch mit einem Roboter führen?
Aus dem Handelsblatt-Archiv: Interviews mit KI-Recruitern sollen Bewerbungsprozesse schneller und fairer machen. Für Unternehmer erweist sich das als hilfreich. Aber wie ist es für die Bewerber am Bildschirm?
Düsseldorf experienced a new trend in job hunting as employers began using AI-recruiters for initial interviews with job seekers. Felix Müller, a candidate for a position with a Swedish food company, logged into an online interview only to find himself speaking with a virtual recruiter on screen, not a human being. The avatar presented standard questions, such as discussing strengths and weaknesses, and where the candidate saw themselves in five years.
The avatar's mouth moved while speaking, but it lacked authenticity, similar to a phone bot from a customer hotline. As it turned out, several German companies had also started employing AI-recruiters for initial interviews with candidates.
The advantages for companies using this technology were numerous. AI-recruiters could conduct hundreds of interviews simultaneously, at any time of day or night. They never grew tired or sick, never slept, and spoke multiple languages fluently. This allowed companies to filter through large numbers of applicants efficiently, saving time and money for the human resource department.
However, the question remained as to how this new form of interview affected job seekers. Would the absence of a human interviewer discourage the most qualified candidates from applying? Additionally, would companies gain more efficiency through this approach, or would they be sacrificing their reputation by potentially alienating top talent?
