Greenhouse finds 38% of job seekers abandon AI interviews
Business
A new Greenhouse report shows that 38% of job seekers have dropped out of hiring processes using AI interviews, with another 12% saying they're hesitant to even try.
As more companies turn to automated recruiting, this trend is raising red flags about losing out on good talent.
Candidates report impersonal AI interviews, ghosting
Many say these interviews feel cold and impersonal, like being "processed rather than considered," as Greenhouse's Sharawn Tipton puts it.
More than half of those who completed AI-led interviews got no feedback or were ghosted entirely.
Experts warn this can hurt a company's reputation if people vent online.
The takeaway? Mixing in real human interaction and being clear about how you're evaluated could make the process less frustrating for everyone.
