I'm using AI for interview screeners for nontechnical roles that require knowledge work. The AI interviewing app is very very basic, its just a wrapper put together by an eng, with enough features to prevent cheating.

Start with recording the session and blocking right-click, and you are halfway there. Its not hard.

The AI app has helped me surface top candidates. I don't even look at resumes anymore. There's no point. I interview the top 10 out of 200, and then do my references and select.

If there's no independent verification, how do you know it's really top 10? (not middle 10, or random 10?)

because there's scores, and the interview is highly customized and has an answer key that has been tested beforehand by the test creators.
