The first interview with AI

AI is now entering even the first interview. But the real issue isn't the technology — it's the experience candidates go through.

This guide helps you understand how an AI interview is perceived, what factors build trust or create risk, and how to design a hybrid model that combines technology with real human connection.

Inside the guide, you'll find:

• data on how candidates react to a first interview with AI
• what makes AI acceptable (or risky)
• the most common mistakes that cost you candidates
• how to design a clear process before, during, and after the AI stage
• a self-assessment to check if your process is really ready for AI
