A new field experiment with 70,000+ job applicants found that AI-led interviews delivered:

+12% more job offers

+18% more job starts

+17% higher 30-day retention.

And most candidates preferred the AI.

𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁.

--> 12% of interviews weren’t analyzed (5% refused, 7% had tech issues).

--> Recruiters also knew when they were reviewing AI interviews — and that likely influenced their impressions.

So maybe it’s not “AI magic,” but structure and consistency that improved results.

And that’s something humans can do too — with the right tools and feedback.

💡 The future isn’t AI or human interviews.

It’s both -combining AI’s structure with human insight to make hiring fairer, faster, and smarter.

At Informed Decisions, we test, measure, and refine - proving that the smartest interviews are the ones where humans and AI work together.
