Recruiting Roundtable: Bot or Not, The Truth about AI in Interviewing
AI is in every hiring pitch deck, press release, and panel session right now. And when it comes to interviewing, the hype cycle is hitting a fever pitch—vendors are promising perfect candidate matches, predictive performance, and interviews that “run themselves.”
But here’s the thing: AI isn’t magic. It’s a tool. And like any tool, it can either help you build something great… or help you screw things up faster and at scale.
Join Erika Oliver (Executive Analyst, Aptitude Research), Prem Kumar (CEO, Humanly), and Matt Charney (Editor in Chief, Recruiter.com) for a lively straight-talk session that separates fact from fluff in AI-driven interviewing.
This isn’t another “future of hiring” pep talk—it’s a reality check on what’s working, what’s broken, and what you should be asking vendors before you sign anything.
What You’ll Learn (Without the Buzzwords or BS)
1. The real trends – Who’s actually using AI in interviews, how they’re doing it, and what it’s changing for recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates.
2. Candidate preferences – What job seekers love, hate, and tolerate when a bot’s in the room. Spoiler: they’re more forgiving than you think… but not in the ways you expect.
3. Pros & cons that matter – Beyond “it saves time,” what’s the real ROI—and the real risks—of letting AI into your interview loop?
4. Measurable outcomes – How to tell if AI interviewing is moving the needle on quality of hire, speed, candidate experience, or just generating pretty dashboards.
5. Vendor selection criteria – The red flags, green lights, and uncomfortable questions that will instantly separate the pretenders from the players.

Because if you’re making interview tech decisions based on marketing promises instead of measurable impact, you’re playing with budgetary fire. This session will give you the tools (and the receipts) to back up your choices to your boss, your CFO, and (most importantly) your candidates.
