Interesting idea, but I think interviewing is only one piece of the puzzle.

Most candidates don't fail because they can't answer questions. They fail because they don't know what to study in the first place. There are thousands of resources available, but almost no guidance on what to learn, in what order, or how to adapt that plan to a specific role or certification.

That's why I think AI interviewers should be paired with AI-powered preparation. Better preparation leads to better interviews.

I hate that this idea is being funded. Asking candidates to talk to a lifeless video bot is so humiliating.

    Agreed. It touches on the same points raised in this recent post,

    “If You are Asking for Human Attention, Demonstrate Human Effort”

    If this interview isn’t important enough to assign a human to the task, it sends a message about what you should expect as an employee. I’d expect a larger percentage of these AI interviewers will be vetting AI interviewees.
