The "AI Hiring Paradox" 

Employers use AI to screen applicants but distrust candidates who use AI tools (such as live copilots) (yes - I shake my head) to answer questions, often penalizing candidates for robotic responses. Conversely, job applicants complain (and rightfully so) that interviewers fail to clearly communicate how AI will be used, and the automated evaluations can still reflect underlying human biases.

Lack of Transparency & Ghosting: Candidates are often kept in the dark about how AI evaluates their responses, and over 50% are never notified of their interview outcome.

Job Market Issue - Lengthy Interview Cycles

 Job Market Issue - Lengthy Interview Cycles

Recent survey indicates that the average length of time for hiring for a new position has increased from 29 days to 48 days, an increase of 65.5%!! Why!?! To begin:

1. Too many resumes submitted for each role.

2. Hiring managers / recruiters / interviewers are having a hard time determining proper qualifications / credentials / achievements because AI driven resumes (according to the Harvard Business Review (HBR) constitute 68% of all resumes submitted.

3. Interviewing cycles are multiple rounds as companies attempt to minimize bad hires.

4. Economic, Geopolitical issues affect the job market and lengthen cycles.

5. Seasonality - Summer time hiring is always slower due to vacations / lack of available staff for training

Robotic, One-Way Interviews: Platforms like HireVue or modern automated screening tools ask you to record yourself answering prompts without a human on the other end to react. It feels impersonal and lacks standard conversational flow.

Hard to believe this companies really use these technology and then complain about bad hires.

The terminology that you use during the interview should be weaved into your answers during the interview, just like on your resume.   Using the same terminlogy  "sales data analysis," "solution sales" "product marketing" program management," "Business Intelligence" as listed on the resume will yield a higher score within the algorithm.

I will be concentrating my posts for the next couple of days on AI video interviewing.  An important topic that job hunters need to embrace, like it or not.

++++++++++++++++++++

AI video interviews is based on a complex scoring system, based on  speech patterns, vocabulary (e.g., checking for specific industry or culture-fit keywords), industry jargon, energy of your voice in your responses, facial expressions, eye contact and more.  The algorithm is also based on scripted answers, whether the answers come from written notes or from an AI-assisted software tool. 

Some interviews are highly impersonal (one-way pre-recorded answers to real-time conversational agents, ranking your performance before a human recruiter ever views your profile. If the process sounds awful and dehumanizing...well, it is...

Is your Resume Flawed - Reliance on Job Titles

 Is your Resume Flawed - Reliance on Job Titles

While job titles are important (I could and will write about this in coming posts), the hiring manager will likely understand the functions you perform. In short, she / he knows what sales people do, what IT project managers do, what servers do. What they want to see are your successes / accomplishments:

1. Grew account base from 10 to 30.

2. Planned and managed a $250K software migration

3. Check average per person was 20% hiring than other staff.

AI in Recruiting

93% of Fortune 500 HR teams have started using AI tools to streamline recruitment tasks? Yet fewer than 1% say they are fully AI-ready. At best, this gap means most HR teams aren’t maximizing value from AI. At worst, it’s like driving a car without a license: increasing risk and the chance of costly mistakes.
