At Mercor, we love changing people’s minds! Ayush Saxena, a recent graduate of Vellore Institute of Technology, was so impressed with his AI interview that he broke his rule of never doing testimonial videos 😅 Wonder what impressed him so much? Find out at work.mercor.com 👀

One question we often get is... why does Mercor have an AI interview instead of a human interview? Many of you must be wondering 🤔 what the benefits of the AI interview are. Well, let us break it down 👇 The first reason for this is equality of opportunity. In manually run job application processes, the majority of candidates are discarded based on their resume alone, and never get to take an interview, because finding and training interviewers is costly and time consuming ⌛ Because we don't have to find and train interviewers, Mercor is able to offer every candidate an opportunity to speak to their skills in interview, which allows us to do 5,000 interviews per day 🤯 The second reason for this is objectivity. Just as not all applicants are the same, not all human interviewers are the same! By not having to make sure that each human interviewer is properly trained and ready for each interview, Mercor is able to ensure the same standard of interview and analysis at each interview ✅ Want to take an AI interview?

Many interviews don’t give candidates the opportunity to shine. Interviewers often ask questions that are intimidating and bear little relevance to the role the candidate is applying for or their past experience. Mercor’s AI interview gives all candidates an opportunity to show the technical skills and expertise gained from past work. This is why SOUMYO NATH TRIPATHY, an Institute Of Engineering and Management student, enjoyed his AI interview. Want to try it out? Schedule an AI interview today at work.mercor.com
