Candidates Are Using AI to Cheat in Job Interviews

🔥 What happened Job candidates are increasingly using AI tools like LockedIn AI that feed them scripted answers in real time during virtual interviews. Subscriptions run $55 to $299 per month, and some tools offer a "stealth mode" designed to evade detection even during screen sharing. 💡 Why it matters Recruiters spot the telltale signs – robotic delivery, fixed gaze on screen – and often end interviews on the spot. A study of 245 mock interviews found ChatGPT users scored higher on answer quality but were perceived as more dishonest. Companies are responding by bringing back in-person interviews and work samples. ⚡ Our take If you need AI to get through an interview, you've got either a competence problem or an honesty problem. Both are fireable – even if it's after the hire.
