Institute of Student Employers interviews

“Traditional processes such as in-person interviews, group tasks, role play, and case studies are conducted almost entirely by humans (94–100% fully human), indicating that organisations still value direct human judgement for activities requiring nuanced interpersonal evaluation.”

“Compared to last year (23%), a greater proportion of employers (33%) reported that generative AI was leading them to redesign their selection processes, while a further 46% said they were currently reviewing their processes in response to generative AI.”

“Concerns were strongest around AI use in online interviews and virtual assessments.”

“Organisations introducing AI-enabled recruitment tools should clearly explain how systems are used, where human oversight sits, and how candidates can seek support or adjustments where needed.”
