Is browser preference a personality flaw? AI job interview evaluation raises questions— AI said applicant's 'habitual' Chrome use could indicate a 'lack of adaptability' after screening interview (www.cbc.ca)

A business consultant is raising alarms about AI-conducted job interviews after he says a tech company’s evaluation of him drew some concerning conclusions, including criticizing his "habitual" use of Google's Chrome internet browser.

As some companies outsource job interviews to artificial intelligence, rejected candidates can be left wondering what went wrong.

After not hearing back about a job he applied for in Madrid with marketing company Anteriad, Daniel Alvarez, who is based in Spain, decided to find out exactly how the AI judged him.

He obtained a copy of the AI-generated evaluation from Anteriad under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. The company had used a third-party firm called ChattyHiring to conduct the screening interview.

Alvarez, who is not Canadian but lived in Toronto for much of last year, shared the full evaluation and transcript with CBC News. He said he was not impressed by what he found, and doesn't feel companies should use AI interviews in the hiring process.

“It's not a human-to-human interaction when you have, for example, language repair.... I can say something, and depending on your face, I can immediately rephrase it," he said.

"That’s gone in this kind of interaction."

I never understood this need to filter out applicants who have other options.

If I had three potential employers to interview with and one of them pulled this, I'd put them on hold and see if the others pan out.

That's a nice idea. In reality most people have to take whatever they can get, and all 3 are using AI screening, because all the applicants are using AI submissions to spam the entire job market with their lazy applications.

Sure.

Most people in entry level do.

That's not my point.

People not in entry level have other options, and they are discouraged by this.

I didn't say anything about entry level...
