  "account": "Ribbon AI, a voice-AI recruiting platform, revealed that approximately a quarter of the interviews it has conducted occur between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. CEO Arsham Ghahramani emphasized the significance of this feature, stating it is a substantial accessibility enhancement. A recent Greenhouse survey indicated that while many candidates remain skeptical about AI job interviews, the technology could reshape the hiring process by allowing 100% of applicants to participate equally. Notably, the share of AI interviews conducted between these hours rises to 35% among Ribbon's manufacturing customers, suggesting that working parents and workers in demanding jobs may benefit most from this flexibility. Studies have shown that AI interviews can boost 180-day employee retention by 10% to 30% across top clients, and a major automaker has hired 35% faster since adopting the technology. Despite concerns about bias and discrimination, HR experts remain optimistic about AI's potential to create a more inclusive hiring environment.",
