The Future of Job Interviews: AI Takes Center Stage
Get Ready for a New Era of Hiring
In the near future, artificial intelligence (AI) may be the one interviewing you for your next job. According to recruitment expert Brent Orsuga, AI-powered interviews will become the norm by early next year.
Meet Apriora, the AI Recruitment Platform
California-based Apriora is leading the charge in AI recruitment, conducting up to 1,000 AI-powered interviews daily for various positions, from senior software engineers to electricians and baristas. Co-founder and CEO Aaron Wang explains that their AI recruiting agent, Alex, automates the entire recruitment process, from scheduling to conducting interviews.
How Alex Works
When a job is posted, Alex reads the description and creates a set of questions to evaluate candidates. During interviews, Alex engages with candidates in a conversational manner, responding appropriately and adjusting its questions based on candidate responses. Alex also generates detailed feedback notes and identifies top candidates for the recruiter after the interview.
Preparing for an AI-Powered Interview
To succeed in an AI-powered interview, you’ll need a strong internet connection and the ability to talk about your skills and experience. Unlike traditional recruiters, AI recruiters like Alex can read resumes and conduct multiple interviews simultaneously, giving each candidate a fair shot at showcasing their skills.
A More Equitable Interview Process
Wang believes that AI-powered interviews can bring equity to the hiring process. “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t go to some resume workshop to engineer the perfect resume, or stuff your resume or cover letter with keywords,” he says. The conversation with Alex should be fluid, allowing you to take your time to answer questions thoroughly and receive appropriate follow-ups.
Detecting Suspicious Activity
Alex is designed to detect suspicious activity, such as keyboard tapping or someone else answering questions for a candidate. This ensures a fair and secure interview process.
Streamlining the Interview Process
With Apriora, the traditional three to five rounds of interviews can be consolidated into fewer stages. Wang has successfully used Alex to hire engineers and salespeople for his company, reducing the process to just two interviews.
Improving the Candidate Experience
While some may be wary of interacting with AI, Wang believes that a platform like Apriora can improve the candidate experience. “A great AI can foster a really wonderful and delightful candidate experience,” he says. With Alex, candidates can feel less judged and have more flexibility in taking the interview.
