I Was Interviewed by an AI Bot for a Job

I have a junior position open and got 1,300 applicants in 1 week before we took it down. Many of the candidates with strong resumes are just lying and doing so well enough to pass HR screens.

I doubt any sort of AI screen would help though as many of the lying candidates are already using AI assist tools making it just a cat and mouse race...

I don't know a good solution to give everyone a fair chance.

You can't give everyone a fair chance, but at least don't waste their time with a stupid AI interview.

Also, at the end of the day, in your 1,300 applicants maybe you have 200 who are a perfect fit and as equally good. But you just have one position. So even with a perfect system that gives you complete information, you'll still have to reject 199 strong candidates.
