And so companies and employees need to figure out a way to make AI truly free them up to do more creative and engaging work rather than just more run-of-the-mill work.

So what happens is, you know, you're sitting there, you're trying not to look at yourself, you're trying to look at the camera, and you get a question.

You basically just get a question.

There's no sort of, hi, how are you doing, or nice to meet you.

And it might start off with something like,

You know, what are your thoughts on customer service or what makes good customer service to you?

And then you will have to reply by video.

And so I found myself sort of like floundering and really nervous because I just wasn't sure.

I wasn't getting any cues.

And so I think it just takes a lot of getting used to.

My understanding is that, yes, what happens is the video, once it's completed, it is submitted to an HR or hiring manager.

And so an actual human will review.

But there is an assessment.

The AI system gives an assessment of how you did that.

on the video.

And these hiring platforms claim they're not scoring you on things like eye contact or even nervousness or if you sound flustered.

And so there's debate about how much of that is true, that they don't actually track that.

And there's some legal questions about whether they could, even if they did.

But there is an assessment, and the assessment is basically how well you answered the questions.

And if the questions sort of match the skill set, you know, how well they match the skill set or aligned with the skill set for the job that you're applying for.
