Job seekers increasingly reject AI interviews due to lack of transparency

A significant portion of job seekers are opting out of interviews conducted by AI, according to recent reports. The Greenhouse 2026 Candidate AI Interview Report indicates that 63% of surveyed job seekers have experienced an AI interview, a figure that has risen substantially. A primary reason for candidates walking away is the lack of transparency, with many not being informed upfront that AI would be involved in the evaluation process. This distrust is further exacerbated by pre-recorded video interviews scored by AI without human presence, and a general lack of disclosure regarding AI's role, leading to a negative perception of employers.
