Employers Use AI To Conduct First-Round Interviews
Some employers are using AI agents to run early-stage job interviews, according to a 2025 survey of 1,084 US and UK hiring decision-makers commissioned by TestGorilla, published April 6, 2026. The practice is common among high-volume hirers and scaling startups, who cite application overload; the trend signals growing automation in screening and may affect candidate experience and recruitment workflows.
