Multiple outlets report that job seekers may increasingly face interviews conducted or supported by artificial intelligence. The change is tied to the surge in job applications submitted through “easy-apply” platforms and the resulting pressure on recruiters to review large applicant pools quickly. According to the reports, some companies use AI systems—often in the form of chatbots—to screen candidates at early stages of hiring. In that setup, shortlisted applicants may answer questions through an AI interface before a human recruiter becomes involved, if at all. One source frames the trend as a practical consequence of higher application volumes, while another focuses on how candidates can prepare for AI-based interviews. Across the coverage, the key theme is that AI is being used to manage workload and streamline selection by handling preliminary interactions with applicants. The articles do not provide a specific list of companies or a uniform standard for questions, but they agree that AI typically plays a screening role rather than replacing all human assessment throughout the hiring process.
