If I'm being interviewed by a bot, I see no reason not to send my own bot to represent me. It levels the playing field.

I’ll probably start building an AI agent to sit in these AI bot interviews

As an interviewer who does all his interviews himself, I experience this already. I'll ask questions and candidates will answer them reading from chat gpt output. It's very frustrating and clearly the start of an arms race that must end in requiring face to face interviews and on site employment

Interested to know: when you experience that, have you addressed it directly and said that you have an issue with it, and want them to stop? If so, do they try to pretend they aren't doing it? Or do they apologize and own up to it? Or what? I've been on the interviewer-side, but haven't run into that. I would absolutely see that kind of thing as an ethics violation; like paying someone else to pretend to be you for the interview process.

Personally, any time I have ever been the interviewee, I write up notes for things to cover during an interview, or list a few common problems, etc. I've dealt with in the past, but I would strongly prefer to share my screen with them so they can see I'm not getting "assistance" from an LLM or whatever. I just personally get very, very stressed when I interview for a job. Having a simple set of notes helps keep me on track with covering XYZ.

I did exactly that and open sourced the API for it. https://joshuacurry.dev/chatjc

Which bot would you trust to represent you though.

What I don't see mentioned here is the number of resumes and cover letters written by AI. I've also interviewed people where it was obvious they were using some sort of AI tool to assist in answering questions. So the criticism goes both ways.

This is why I only schedule in person interviews now. Then neither party can use AI and there's something about meeting people in real life to get to know them.

The next step is for interviewees to send their own AI avatars. Then it’s fair and probably more efficient.

This to me reveals the power in the underlying pattern in OpenClaw. Seems like User+Agent will be everywhere.

After that, AI companies where there's no human hiring AI agents. After that AI consumers to keep the economy going for AI companies. After that AI governments, after that...

In 2020 I applied for a "too good to be true" high paying job. Throughout the process I kept doing exercises and never interacted with a real person.

Once the exercises got hard, I stopped trying. I didn't believe it was a real job.

I've done several of these. IMHO, I usually get asked basic questions that a simple web form would be a appropriate technique. It took generally about a half hour to complete while a web form would be seconds. I think it's the wrong tool for the job.

It just sounds like a worse version of Hirevue (asks a question in text, records your answer). You could have a Hirevue session that stitches together different pre-determined questions based on user responses (that's the AI inroad) but doing more is reductive at this stage.

The more I read about recent interviewing practices in the tech industry the more I think I'll just not try and become a beach bum the day I get laid off.

Is there anyone here who wouldn't just immediately exit and stop pursuing the job if that happened to you?

Clearly the solution is to have LLMs apply for jobs and show up for interviews instead of doing it yourself. “My LLM will call your LLM.”

I believe this stuff is straight up illegal in the EU. And also: "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” - IBM Training Manual, 1979[1]
