I guess for a seasonal job, where maybe you don’t care as much about the human interaction aspects of the job I’d be okay with this.

If I ever got an AI interviewer at a company I was interested in working for long term, it would be dead on arrival. Interviewing is a two way street. Candidates glean info about their possible teammates and work experience from the interviewer, just like the interviewer gets a read on the candidate.

Also if I am having someone join my team, I’d want to get to know them first. I’m sure the goal isn’t to have this replace every interview panel but it feels icky to me outside of a seasonal job.

From everything I’ve heard about working in Amazon warehouses, getting interviewed by a faceless robot is probably giving an accurate impression of the work culture. Even for a seasonal job it feels disrespectful to the candidates.
