AI in Recruitment: How to Spot Cheating Candidates—and Hire with Confidence | Ep 247

🎙I share a wild anecdote about a live job candidate blatantly using AI to answer interview questions and dive into the new reality of recruitment. I explain how AI is changing the game, with some applicants attempting to cheat the system, and how you can fight back by becoming more “savvy”. I discuss my strategies, including the use of advanced software like ‘Teslify’ (which tracks mouse movements, second screens, and AI use) and my ‘RecruitRight’ hiring system. If you’re ready to learn how to use video interviews, objective assessment prompts, and avoid wasting time on ‘AI drones’ that will only create problems later on, make sure you don’t miss this one!  KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡The New Recruitment Challenge: Candidates are now blatantly using AI during live and recorded interviews to generate ‘slick’ answers, forcing recruiters to become much more vigilant. 💡The Danger of AI Cheating: Candidates who score highly by using AI often “fall flat” in live interviews and lack the necessary experience or expertise to solve problems and deal with exceptions once hired. 💡Leverage AI to Fight AI: You can use advanced software like ‘Teslify’ (which tracks mouse movements, screens, and AI use) or even basic tools like ‘Grammarly Pro’ and custom ‘ChatGPT’ prompts to detect and score AI-generated responses. BEST MOMENTS 00:09 - 💬 “In a live interview, an applicant was sitting typing the questions that she was being asked and then putting those into AI, and she was obviously reading off the screen what the AI was telling her to respond to the questions. This is the state of recruitment at the moment.” 16:36 - 💬 “We need to be savvy when we are now recruiting more than ever. I think if you're using a recruitment agent, I would be asking them very specific questions about how they are ensuring that the candidates they get through are not using AI.” 23:40 - 💬 “Make sure you always, always do live interviews and on those live interviews, ask the person not to touch their keyboard, ask them to look at the camera throughout, and ask them not to read anything off a screen.” TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 AI's Impact on Recruitment Integrity 05:53 Efficient Recruitment App for Hiring 09:29 AI-Enhanced Interview Assessments Challenges 11:48 AI Tool ‘Teslify’ Enhances Recruitment Process 14:35 AI-Enhanced Interview Evaluation 17:32 Recruitment Strategy: AI Assessment Tools 23:16 Be Mindful and Savvy when Hiring 24:10 “Authenticity Encourages Transparency” VALUABLE RESOURCES Free access to our flagship RECRUIT RIGHT FRAMEWORK LINKS TO CONNECT WITH THE HOST Podcast: https://www.systemizeyoursuccess.com Website: https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/ Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/systemsandoutsourcing/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/systemsandoutsourcing/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/systems_and_outsourcing/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@drsteveday42 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drsteveday42 ABOUT THE HOST Steve moved to Sweden in 2015 and transformed how he ran his businesses—switching to a fully remote model.
