New Paper: 500k Glassdoor Reports Show Interviews Are Two-Way Screening — Bad News for AI Interviews
danielrock · x · 2026-10-15
A new working paper, "Interviews," uses 500k Glassdoor reports plus a randomized field experiment to show interviews aren't just for employers: workers use them to screen firms and preview job fit.
A follow-up point in the thread: AI interviews may underperform precisely because workers read interview rigor as an ex-ante signal of match quality — if AI interviews distort that signal, both sides make worse matching decisions. A useful empirical angle for anyone building AI hiring tools.
