The key is skin in the game. If a human interviews me, if they're wasting my time, they're also wasting their own. So they have some incentive not to do that.

The key is skin in the game. If a human interviews me, if they're wasting my time, they're also wasting their own. So they have some incentive not to do that. But if an AI interviews me, the humans have no incentive not to waste my time. You want to have an AI interview me? No. It can interview my AI agent if you want, but not me. You want to interview me? Put a human on the line.

Exactly, and the AI can be interviewing 1000 other people at the same time.

Honestly having an AI agent that interviews a interviewees agent sounds like a great "first filter" for certain tech jobs if you do it right. As in "here are the api specs, build an agent that can receive questions and reply with information based on your Resume." Would be vibe-codeable by anyone with skills in an hour. I remember seeing a company a while back that switched to only accepting Resumes through a weirdly formatted API and they said it cut down on irrelevant spam for software jobs immensely.

  The problem is if every other employer buys some AI interview solution as the initial screening then instead of a 15 min application to most likely be ghosted it will become 15 min + 45 minutes of AI slop conversation to be ghosted. While taking up no extra time from the recruiters' or hiring managers' schedule.

Shouldn’t you charge a licensing fee if they want to use your agent? You don’t want them to train their own model off of your model.
