THE FUTURE OF WORK
Micro1 and Apriora are changing the interview process by using AI instead of human interviewers.
Micro1’s “GPT Vetting” allows candidates to interview with an AI cartoon character, adding a gamified feel.
Apriora takes a more straightforward approach, with its AI-led interviews focusing solely on efficiency and professionalism, without visuals.
Both tools aim to make recruitment faster and more accurate.
Using OpenAI’s GPT-4, they help hiring managers get clear candidate insights.
Here’s how the tools work:
Hiring managers set job requirements in the AI tool.
Candidates receive an invite, may self-rate skills, and then complete AI-led skill tests if they continue.
After each interview, the AI provides a detailed report for hiring managers.
Upgrade breaks rather than coffee breaks
For technical roles, this AI-driven approach saves companies time, offering consistent evaluations while skipping human-led early interviews.
But there’s a question: Does this trend make recruitment too impersonal and bland?
For candidates, AI interviews bring advantages and drawbacks.
They allow flexible scheduling, making it easier for those with full-time jobs to explore new roles.
However, missing early interactions with team members means less insight into company culture and team dynamics.
I’d still be nervous WRECK during those interviews.
