HireQwikField notes on AI screening and high-volume hiring
How AI screening actually works in production: resume scoring, voice interviews, and high-volume hiring, written from live pilots.
The Cost of a Bad Campus Hire Is a P&L Line Item
The US Department of Labor puts a bad hire at 30% of first-year salary, up to 50% for managers. Most TA teams report it like a footnote.
70% of Managers Trust AI. Only 8% of Candidates Do.
A multi-market survey found a wide gap between how much managers trust AI screening and how fair candidates find it. The gap is the real risk.
California's No Robo Bosses Act Is Back — What It Means
SB 947, the No Robo Bosses Act, is back in the California legislature after last year's veto. What it means if you screen for US roles.
How Long Should an AI Screening Interview Actually Be?
Vendors sell AI screening on speed: 'interview a candidate in under two minutes.' Here's why that number is the wrong thing to optimize for.
Your Job Description Is Setting Your AI Screen Up to Fail
83% of job seekers say a vague job description signals a disorganised process. That same vagueness makes your screening rubric unreliable.
'Zero Automated Decisions' Breaks at Campus Volume
uRecruits 2.0 promises a recruiter makes every hiring call. Reasonable for corporate hiring, impossible for a 3,000-candidate campus drive.
AI Won't Replace Recruiters. It Replaced One Call.
63% of recruiters expect AI to take over candidate screening. The debate about whether that means recruiters disappear is asking the wrong question.
Every AI Screen Has a False-Negative Rate. Ask Yours.
Vendors publish auto-reject rates and time saved. Almost none publish how many good candidates their system screens out by mistake.
We Audit Every 'No Go' Batch by Hand. Here's Why.
An AI screen you never re-check is not accurate, it is just unaudited. The No-Go spot-check habit we run on every pilot drive, and what it is for.
AI-Skills Hiring Is Up 16%. Resumes Can't Prove It.
Naukri's June 2026 data shows AI-related hiring up 16% year-on-year even as IT postings fell 3%. The resume still cannot prove those skills.
Connecticut's AI Hiring Law Has Two Deadlines
Connecticut's CART Act splits AI hiring obligations across two effective dates, October 2026 and October 2027. Most vendors watch only one.
AI Screening Is Biased Against How Candidates Talk
AI language tools have a documented bias against non-native English speakers. Why that matters for any AI screening vendor evaluation in India.
