The Rise of the 1 am Job Interview

An AI interview is increasingly the first step of a hiring process. Since there's no human on the other end, candidates are scheduling them whenever--even deep into the night. When Tim Millard received an email about interviewing for a media relations job in January, six months into his job hunt, he assumed he'd speak to a human. When he was instead instructed to record himself answering a series of questions on camera, he felt a familiar pang of resignation--one that had followed him throughout the job hunt . "I figured, I have to do this if I want to be considered for the job," Millard tells WIRED.
