How to ace an AI-assisted interview

#hrtalks Ever had an interview where every answer sounded too clean, too polished — like it had been rehearsed somewhere else? You might’ve been talking to two people: one human, one algorithm. Happy Saturday, Humans 👋 Lately I keep seeing clips of candidates subtly looking off-screen during virtual interviews. It’s not nerves. It’s usually a second device — quietly feeding them responses. A recent survey says more than one in five jobseekers now lean on AI for interview prep. I don’t think that’s “cheating,” but it does change the rules. We have to design interviews that reveal how someone actually thinks, not how well they prompt. Watch for small cues: • Language that sounds written, not spoken • Delays that feel mechanical, like someone waiting for text to appear • Answers with no texture — no real people, numbers, or outcomes behind them When you catch that pattern, don’t jump to judgment. Stress can sound synthetic too. Ask for the story behind the answer: “Tell me what you did — step by step.” Add short, live tasks. See how they reason, not just what they recite. And if your company has boundaries around AI use, say so upfront. Interviews should reveal a mind at work — not a script in progress.

The interview process is evolving faster than most candidates realize. Algorithms listen, panels record and storytelling now decides who gets the offer. We’ve been building Become The Need (BTN) quietly, an AI-driven, story-focused platform designed for the next era of hiring. BTN helps candidates master the new language of interviews: • Behavioral precision through structured STAR responses. • Guided story-building powered by AI. • Voice-ready feedback that strengthens tone, pacing, and presence. Whether your interviewer is human, panel, or algorithm, BTN trains you to communicate with clarity, confidence, strategy and intention. Our early-access page is now live.

🚀 From Hiring Chaos to Clarity Before AI interviews, our hiring process was pure chaos — too many candidates, not enough time, and scattered feedback everywhere. Then we tried Flowmingo AI interviews — and everything changed. ✅ Every candidate got the same structured questions ✅ Reports arrived instantly ✅ Hiring managers compared skills, not vibes The best part? Candidates loved it. They said it felt more fair, consistent, and transparent. And our recruiters finally had time to focus on what matters most — people. AI didn’t replace our team. It gave them time to be human again. 💡 Try it yourself 👉 https://lnkd.in/g6EWDF4x #Flowmingo #FlowmingoAI #SmartHiring #RecruitmentInnovation #HumanFirstHiring

Where do we draw the line with AI in interviews? I’ve seen two very different views in the comments of my last post: 🔸 Using AI to answer technical questions = “out of order” 🔸 Using AI to answer technical questions = “resourceful and smart” But in reality..... 🔸 Hiring managers are already using AI to summarise interview notes 🔸 Candidates are using AI to help frame their answers 🔸 ATS systems are using AI to screen CVs 🔸 Both sides are using the tool, just in different ways... Is it cheating? Is it smart? Or is it simply the new normal? The line is only going to keep moving and it seems we all have a slightly different idea of where that line sits. Where’s yours? #ai #interviews #thoughts

I've talked to several #HRLeaders who are concerned that candidates are relying on AI to help answer questions during video interviews. Others may be facing #DeepFake candidates. Some low-confrontation questions to confirm you aren't talking with an avatar: "Could you tilt your camera a little so I can see you better?" "Could you put your hand in front of your face for a moment to refocus the computer camera?" Learn more through this Kansas City Business Journal article https://shorturl.at/uQdIs
