Can an ‘AI interviewer’ hire better than a human?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the recruitment landscape, offering solutions to streamline the hiring process and enhance candidate assessment.

AI Interviewers

Ali Ansari's company, micro1, has developed gpt-vetting, an AI system that conducts initial screening interviews for software engineering positions. Features include:

  • Verbal responses to technical questions

  • Soft skills assessment

  • Coding exercises

  • Cheating detection

Ansari predicts AI could replace technical interviews for software engineering roles by year-end.

Benefits and Challenges

Benefits of AI interviewers:

  • Time-saving for hiring managers

  • Larger candidate pool screening

  • Reduced bias

  • Improved experience for introverted candidates

Challenges include scepticism about non-human interviewers, which micro1 aims to address with multiple avatar options.

Human Involvement Remains Crucial

Despite AI advancements, human involvement remains critical for:

  • Assessing cultural fit

  • Evaluating soft skills

  • Making final hiring decisions

The future of recruitment likely lies in a hybrid model, combining AI efficiency with human judgement to create more effective hiring processes.
