AI recruiters could be the unlikely solution to career catfishing, with job seekers admitting they'd rather interview with a bot
Briefly

AI voice interviewing increases offer rates and early retention: applicants interviewed by AI were 12% more likely to receive offers and more likely to start work and remain beyond 30 days. When given a choice, 78% of applicants chose AI interviewers over human recruiters. Employers gain assistance screening large applicant volumes and reducing candidate ghosting. Reasons for candidate ghosting include hiring-process frustration, interview practice, or lack of interest. Ghosting occurs on both sides, with recruiters sometimes leaving candidates without follow-up; government attention and legal action has emerged in response to prolonged recruiter silence.
Hiring managers are at the mercy of catfishing, where final candidates accept a job offer only to never show up.But respite may be on the way: New research shows that job applicantsinterviewed by an AI voice agents are 12% more likely to land a job offer than those screened by human recruiters-and more importantly, are more likely to show up for work and stick around after 30 days.
Bosses fed up with candidate ghosting and combing through thousands of applications may have a new assistant for the gruelling selection process: using AI to interview the applicants. And the tools are benefiting job-seekers, too. Despite some unemployed professionals sharing their frustration with the tool, overall job-seekers say they prefer it to interviewing with a human, according to recent research by SSRN.
