Leverage hosted an AI interview experience event on May 27 for third-year university students to demystify how artificial intelligence evaluates candidates [1], [2].

This initiative addresses growing anxiety among job seekers regarding the lack of transparency in AI-driven hiring processes. With official recruitment selection set to begin on June 1 [2], students are seeking ways to prepare for automated assessments that may determine their professional futures.

The event featured the company's AI personnel platform, NALYSYS [1], [2]. Each participant underwent an interview lasting approximately 20 minutes [2]. In a departure from standard corporate secrecy, Leverage disclosed the AI's evaluation results directly to the students involved [2].

The move follows data indicating that 60% of job seekers feel anxious about AI interviews, according to a survey of 200 people [3]. Students reported that the experience provided critical insight into the feedback companies receive during the hiring process.

"If I hadn't come today, I don't think I would have seen the kind of feedback that is given to companies, so I think it was very good," a third-year student said [2].

Participants noted that the AI's ability to probe logically mirrored the intensity of human interviews. One student said the experience of being questioned logically served as a realistic practice session, adding that they now feel they can face such interviews without being intimidated [2].

While some reports suggest AI interviews can be more rigorous than human ones, other participants found the simulation to be a helpful bridge to real-world expectations [1], [2].

“60% of job seekers feel anxious about AI interviews”

The integration of AI into the recruitment process is creating a transparency gap between employers and candidates. By opening the 'black box' of AI evaluation, companies like Leverage are attempting to mitigate candidate anxiety and standardize expectations. This trend suggests a shift toward 'algorithmic literacy' for job seekers, where understanding how to interact with an AI becomes as critical as the qualifications on a resume.
