A TikTok video captures a job-seeker's bizarre experience with an AI recruiter that repeatedly echoed "vertical bar pilates". The incident, deemed unsettling by the job-seeker, highlights the challenges of AI in recruitment. Hosted by a Y Combinator-backed startup, Apriora, which claims efficiency in hiring, the technology proved to be problematic. Despite claims that AI can alleviate interview anxiety, this experience left the candidate unwilling to engage with AI in future interviews, raising concerns about the practicality of AI in job recruitment.
I thought it was really creepy and I was freaked out. I was very shocked, I didn't do anything to make it glitch so this was very surprising.
Job-seekers prefer interviewing with AI in many cases, since knowing the interviewer is AI helps to reduce interviewing anxiety, allowing job seekers to perform at their best.
This incident serves as a startling example not only of where America's abysmal labor market is at, but also of how ill-conceived this sort of AI outsourcing has become.
I would never go through this process again.
