00:00Is AI really helping recruiters to choose the best candidates?
00:10A survey on 30,000 job seekers showed most of them are open to use AI in the job search.
00:18However, when it comes to the actual selection, there are concerns on AI's reliability.
00:26Furthermore, one in four candidates has zero or limited trust that AI would correctly assess
00:34their skills and experience.
00:37The most common concerns are linked to AI's inability to detect nonverbal cues in an interview,
00:45such as body language or tone of voice, as well as to choose the right candidate and
00:51to value non-traditional experience, such as travel and volunteering.
00:56There are also fears AI would discriminate against some candidates, particularly in Switzerland,
01:03Australia, France, Germany, and the US.
01:07The people that most trust human recruiters over AI to judge non-traditional experience
01:13and skills are in the manufacturing, healthcare, and legal sectors.
01:20University degree holders are the most open to be judged by AI in a job interview with
01:27a rate of 65%.
