In this episode, Yatin Vij and Adil Gwiazdowski, co-founders of Shortlistd.io, join Margot Bletterie to explore how AI is reshaping the interview stage of hiring. The conversation looks at what happens when candidates are interviewed by AI systems using video, voice, or avatars.

Together they discuss the practical realities of AI-driven interviews, the limitations of human interview processes, and how automation could improve the candidate experience while still keeping human judgment in the loop.

• Why some companies are experimenting with AI-led interviews using video or avatars
• What research suggests about candidate satisfaction and efficiency in automated interviews
• Why many hiring managers are not formally trained to conduct interviews
• How AI can help standardize and reduce bias in interview processes
• Why the recruitment process often feels broken for candidates, including ghosting and long response times
• How leaders can introduce AI into hiring step by step, starting with sourcing or screening
