AI isn't the Problem in Hiring | Why Authenticity & Transparency Matter?

By 2028, Gartner predicts that 1 in 4 job seeker profiles could be fake. With deepfakes, proxy interviews, and AI-generated applications on the rise, recruiters face new risks in evaluating and shortlisting talent.

At the same time, candidates are skeptical about AI assessments, yet 40% already use AI to help with resumes, interviews, and job applications. So the question isn’t whether AI belongs in hiring, it’s how we use it.

Here’s the balance both sides need to strike:

For Recruiters: ✅ Be transparent about when and how AI is used ✅ Standardize screening with AI at scale ✅ Add a human touch in later stages with live interviews

For Candidates: ✅ Use AI for preparation, but keep answers authentic ✅ Disclose AI assistance when possible ✅ Let personality and connection shine in video and in-person interviews

How Jobma helps:

AI proctoring detects suspicious activity like multiple faces, devices, window switching, and eye movement irregularities, protecting interview integrity without being invasive.

Flexible video interviewing gives candidates the freedom to record interviews anytime, anywhere, ensuring fairness and consistency in the process.
