In late April, after waiting nearly 20 days, Gao Yaxin, a 2024 graduate, finally received an offline interview notice from a bank. Previously, she participated in the company's AI interview online, which is the fifth time that Gao Yaxin has participated in the AI interview since the Spring Recruitment this year. Like Gao Yaxin, in recent years, many college graduates have received the first notice to pass the "AI interview" after submitting their resumes. (According to China Youth Daily on May 7)
The emergence of AI interview is an inevitable trend of scientific and technological development. And no matter for enterprises or job seekers, AI interview is no longer strange. It is reported that as early as 2017, the AI interview system appeared in China, most of which are structured questions and answers, and different interviewees may use the same set of interview questions; With the upgrading of technology, some enterprises' AI interviews begin to add interactive effects, generate virtual interviewers, try to create a real scene atmosphere, and some even upgrade to interviews with questions.
For some job seekers, AI interview has become an inextricable link. Relevant research shows that, AI interview assistance has become more common in campus recruitment and batch interviews, and gradually upgraded from "interview assistance" to "interview decision-making". At the same time, for enterprises, AI interview replaces the repetitive work at the initial screening stage in recruitment, AI interviewers can count, sort and classify the basic information of job seekers, laying the foundation for the next round of live interviews, which can be said to be a cost reduction and efficiency increase.
Of course, There are also irregularities in the AI interview. According to the report, AI interview raises concerns about privacy security. For example, some interviewees said that they felt uncomfortable at the thought that the interview video might be reviewed, and even worried about whether it would be leaked; Judging living people by rigid metrics may lead to rejection, AI interview is also difficult to fully understand the emotional state of the applicant, and misjudge when dealing with special situations.
AI interview is inseparable from the norms. The technical level needs to be further improved to improve the accuracy and professionalism of the interview. Take the inquiry function mentioned earlier as an example, that is, the details can be excavated according to the answers and resumes of job seekers. In this way, it will help to better understand the interviewees and scientifically evaluate talents, thus reducing miscalculation. Of course, the more important focus should be on ensuring the privacy of interviewees. After all, if the AI system is attacked, it will inevitably lead to the interview data being tampered or leaked.
Relevant functional departments should pay attention to the risks. On the one hand, improve relevant rules for AI interviews, clarify the function and role of AI technology, provide guidance for employers, and provide basis for workers to protect their legitimate rights and interests; On the other hand, in the daily law enforcement work, we should strengthen the supervision of the algorithm used in AI interviews, investigate and deal with the illegal labor acts in the name of the algorithm, and provide a strong backing for the protection of workers' rights and interests.
In addition, there is no need for job seekers to twist their brains about possible AI interview loopholes. As reported by the media, there are a lot of strategies on the social platform, and "reciting question bank" is the "pass secret" that almost every experience post will mention, and the comment "buy a question bank" below the post is also everywhere. In fact, there is no need to distort your mind in the face of AI interview, or even take the means of "cheating". The most important thing is to be prepared and calm. After all, job interview is a two-way choice process.
