Job Candidates Say They’re Quitting the Hiring Process Over AI Interviews

Job seekers are increasingly abandoning hiring processes that rely heavily on AI interviews, with one-third of U.S. candidates citing prerecorded AI-scored interviews with no human interaction as a top reason for dropping out, alongside concerns about transparency and AI monitoring.

This growing resistance signals rising demand for authenticity and human connection in the hiring process, creating relevance for employers, recruiting platforms and HR technology providers that must balance automation with transparency, trust and candidate experience.
