Job seekers are increasingly refusing or abandoning hiring processes that include AI interviews, according to a Greenhouse report highlighted in the coverage. The data suggests 63% of U.S. job seekers have been interviewed by AI, with candidate drop-off reaching 38% in processes that included AI interviewing. Company leaders frame the rollout as a way to “filter the flood” of applications in a competitive labor market, but the reporting emphasizes a widening trust gap between employers and candidates. Experiences can also be outcomes-negative, with many candidates reporting ghosting or extended silence after AI interview completion. For higher education career services and workforce-aligned programs, the implications extend to student internship recruiting and graduate outcomes. Schools and employers may need to reconsider how AI screening tools are communicated, audited for bias, and integrated with human follow-up to reduce reputational and equity risks.
