SW Engineer here. Speaking to someone, even over video chat, is very information dense. Their mannerism, how quickly they arrive at answers, how they communicate during their process, are they easy to talk to, do they give the sense that they know what they’re doing or are they typing every question to chatgpt. These things are very important signals that I look for in potential coworkers, especially for juniors, where their culture fit and willingness to explore problems is worth more than their experience. These are the kinds of things you’d 100% lose with Ai Interviews. They are an extremely poor replacement for actual interviews. Also, as a candidate, I would be incredibly insulted if I scheduled an interview, put time aside, and the company I’m applying to didn’t even care to put a human on the call. Why not just let candidates write an essay at that point.
