Very quickly, people have gotten comfortable with the idea of AI doing many repetitive, tedious, and mundane tasks. However, when asked if they would be comfortable participating in an AI interview, many reflexively say "no."
In this article we dive into the most common concerns and explore why AI interviewing is not only beneficial but essential for modern job seeker.
Addressing Common Concerns in AI Interviews
- Human Connection Many candidates worry that AI interviews lack the personal touch of human interaction. And it does. HOWEVER, this is JUST the first round screen. No one is suggesting AI run the interview process start to finish, but rather, AI conduct the first screens to ensure human recruiters are brought in to speak and connect with the most highly qualified candidates, ultimately having more time for deeper human connection.
- Data and Privacy Data privacy is a legitimate concern in today's digital age. Braintrust AIR is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Our platform employs state-of-the-art encryption and security measures to ensure that your data is protected. Additionally, the use of AI in interviews can actually reduce the risk of human error or mishandling of sensitive information.
- Bias There's always concerns about bias in the hiring process. While AI systems are only as good as the data they're trained on, Braintrust AIR is trained on diverse datasets and continually checked and validated to ensure fairness and impartiality in the hiring process. In fact, by removing human prejudices, AI interviewing can help level the playing field for all candidates.
The Benefits of AI Interviews
- Equal Opportunity: Traditional hiring processes often favor those at the top of the resume stack, leaving many qualified candidates overlooked. Braintrust AIR ensures that every applicant is evaluated based on their skills and qualifications, not their position in a pile of resumes. This means that everyone who is qualified gets an actual AI job interview, increasing your chances of being noticed.
- Saves Time: Scheduling interviews can be a hassle, often involving back-and-forth communications and long waiting periods. With AI interviewing, you can complete your AI video interview at your convenience, saving you valuable time. This flexibility allows you to focus on preparing and performing your best, without the stress of coordinating schedules.
- Focused: AI interviewers are never distracted. Unlike human interviewers who might be multitasking or influenced by external factors, AI remains focused on your responses. This ensures that you can fully concentrate on articulating your skills and experiences without worrying about interpreting the interviewer's body language or cues.

The platform stores your responses, allowing you to build on previous answers and focus on more meaningful discussions. This not only saves time but also helps you present a consistent and polished narrative.
