AI vs human English proficiency screening for hiring… where would u still keep a person involved?
been thinking about this after a hiring cycle where we leaned pretty heavily on live interviews for english screening
the weird part wasn't really recruiters disagreeing with each other, it was how easy it was for someone confident and personable to come across as stronger than they actually were once the conversation got closer to a real customer call
so now im wondering if the better setup is even human vs AI, or just using both for different parts of the process
been looking at a few options like Versant, Linguaskill, Testlify and SmallTalk2Me while tryin to understand how other teams handle the first english check
i’m leaning more toward using something standardized early on, then keeping the live interview for context, judgement and the stuff a score cant really tell u
for recruiters using both, where do u draw the line?
wld u let an automated speaking score decide who reaches interview or just use it as another signal alongside the recruiter screen?
the part im still trying to figure out is how much weight to give a consistent score vs someone who just interviews really well
