NTNU Researchers Reveal What Builds Job Seekers’ Trust in AI Interviews |
點閱次數: 21 |
| Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping corporate recruitment, but compared with face-to-face interviews, AI interviews are often criticized for their limited human interaction and a lack of transparency regarding how candidates are assessed. Although they can make screening far more efficient, they may also cause strong applicants to abandon the hiring process. Hung-Yue Suen, Professor in the Department of Technology Application and Human Resource Development at National Taiwan Normal University, led a research team to examine how job seekers respond to different AI interviewer interfaces, including avatars, chatbots, and transparent, explainable AI. The findings point to ways in which companies can improve recruitment efficiency while strengthening applicants’ trust in AI.more |
