AI interviews boost candidate shortlisting by up to 20 percentage points · 2 sources tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new research paper from arXiv details how AI-assisted recruitment, specifically through AI-generated interview reports, can significantly improve candidate shortlisting. Field experiments showed that candidates shortlisted with AI interview information passed final human interviews at rates 17.5 to 20 percentage points higher than those shortlisted from resumes alone. This AI-generated information proved most beneficial for junior candidates, improving out-of-sample AUC by 0.18. However, the AI interviews also shifted the screening cost to applicants, with 75 percent not completing the interview, though this attrition itself served as a signal of job-search motivation. AI

IMPACT AI-driven interview reports can significantly improve candidate selection accuracy, particularly for junior roles, while shifting screening costs to applicants.
