We hear from nearly every single one of our customers that they are worried about how the candidate experience will be impacted. It's absolutely the right question to ask. Here's what the data says!
Biggest surprise of scaling up AI Phone Interviews Classet? Only 0.53% of applicants opt out of talking with the AI Interviewer. Initially, we expected a significant number of candidates to decline. The idea of talking to an AI might feel off-putting, right? Turns out, we were way off and a lot of the feedback from candidates is that they love the experience: "Actually, you've been great. This is a new experience with Al. It's not like a machine and a robotic kind of thing. I feel like I'm talking to a real person." "It just gave me good vibes, you know. I'm surprised I was able to ask it questions about the work hours and stuff like that." One guy was even hired as an Ops manager through Classet and now uses the tool to interview all his reports so he can save time as he scales up in his new role! "Initially I thought the AI would be annoying, but as I got through the call I forgot it was even AI. I see a lot of value in it for digging into the people who are committed to the role" Why Do Candidates Prefer AI Interviews? 🕒 24/7 Instant Interviews - 65% of candidates cannot apply & interview during a recruiter's working hours because they already have a 9-5 job. Being able to interview late at night or on the weekends can make the job search process more accessible. 🔍 Extra Application Context Candidates can share extra context about their work history, why they left a role, the reason they are looking for a new job. No more 3 year old resume gaps! 📅 Control: Candidates love the flexibility of choosing when and where to take the interview—no phone tag. If candidate need to drop off, they can easily call back and continue the interview where they left off. 🤝 Better Experience: The AI is empathetic, un-rushed, and always available. It creates a calmer, fairer interview process. 💡 Fast Answers: Candidates can get their questions answered on the spot—no hoping a recruiter knows every detail about the role. It’s a reminder that when tech meets real candidate pain points, the adoption speaks for itself.
