Some Job Interviews Now Use AI

Some job seekers now speak to an AI system in interviews. The system may ask questions by text, phone, video, or a digital person. The experience can feel strange when a digital face looks almost human but not fully natural.
Companies can use AI to ask many people the same questions and organize their answers. But candidates should know what the system is doing. It may help a recruiter, or it may score part of the interview.
Not every AI interview looks at a person's face or voice. HireVue says its current AI scoring uses the transcript of what a candidate says, not facial expressions or tone. AI can make hiring faster, but people also worry about fairness and privacy.
