AI judging interviews: fair or totally flawed?
The first round was fine, but round two has me questioning the whole process. I answered scenario-based questions in Excel, giving verbal explanations too. But only the Excel entries were assessed by ChatGPT, ignoring my spoken context. Plus, I only had 15 secs to respond! This brings up some serious questions: - Can AI really evaluate without the full picture? - What’s the point of the panel if AI makes the final call? - Why wasn’t the use of AI disclosed? If I’d known AI was assessing me, I’d have used more technical terms and formatting. We need a transparent process: - Guidelines for capturing all inputs. - Disclosure of AI tools and their scope. - A mix of human and AI judgment. - Feedback that reflects the full context. Apart from one point in feedback surprises me is interviewer don't need what you say. I believe interview is an interactive assessment that to face to face. If AI does, keep virtual AI interview it can parallelly do interview in a single shot. Saves our time
