Your next job interviewer could be an AI agent - here's why that's a good thing


AI interviews could bring companies higher-quality matches, according to a study from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.

That's the latest news from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, which conducted a study of 67,000 job interviews to understand the role of AI in the hiring process. "Overall, our experiment shows that AI voice agents not only match human recruiters in the complex task of conducting job interviews, but also deliver evidence of improved outcomes in several dimensions without damaging core operations," wrote the authors of the study. The study also examined the cost-competitiveness of deploying AI in hiring and found that its ROI is dependent on the market type it operates in.
