Employers are turning to AI over human recruiters to screen job candidates, with 8 in 10 companies using AI to review resumes. Jim Chaffee, AI expert, warns that while AI is efficient in the early screening process, human interaction is crucial for deeper candidate evaluation.

As job seekers flood the market, AI interview assistants are on the rise. Meanwhile, jobless claims in the US have hit a four-year high. Layoffs have spiked, with 62,075 job cuts last month alone, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

AI-led interviews are common for roles with technical requirements. However, job candidates are skeptical, with only a quarter trusting AI’s fairness. Tips include maintaining professionalism, practicing with friends, and asking the AI relevant questions about the job or company.

During AI interviews, remain engaging, clear, and expressive. Practice with a friend, ensure good lighting, and maintain proper posture. Answer questions with specific examples and send a personalized thank-you note afterwards to stand out among other candidates.
