In the recruitment world, AI-assessed interviews can eliminate you before you ever speak to a human. The Post offers some tips to help you navigate this new assessment tool.

You may know that artificial intelligence may scan your résumé when you apply for a job. But are you prepared to have an interview assessed by AI?

And ultimately, the AI screening could eliminate you before you ever speak to a human.
