Hiring professionals back ‘live-only’ interviews to prevent AI-aided candidates

• AI-generated portfolios or work samples (51%)
• Fake references (42%)
• Fake credentials or diplomas (39%)
• Voice filters or voice cloning (17%)
• Face-swapping in video (15%)

Dawid Moczadlo, co-founder of Vidoc Security, earlier this year shared that an applicant for their company was using AI to alter his appearance during a technical interview. He was also using ChatGPT to answer the questions.

“Either you change the hiring process now, or you’ll learn the hard way,” Moczadlo said. “It’s creepy and sad, but we have to adapt; there’s no other option.”

Using detection software

Three in four hiring professionals believe they could identify AI-generated content without detection software.

In fact, 66% said they are carrying out manual reviews to detect fake credentials or deepfake content, according to Software Finder’s report.

However, only 37% of the respondents said they have received company-provided training on AI-driven hiring fraud. Just 31% are also using AI-generated or deepfake detection software.
