If the employer is allowed to use an AI proxy for their company, does that make it viable for candidates to deploy an AI proxy / avatar to go through the early stage of the process?

That'll truly give the efficiency that these employers crave - let's both speak once our AI counterparts have deemed we're a match.

A one-click avatar replacement (for when you detect you are in an AI interview) - that'll be interesting huh

The fun part is that then, the interviews can look way different than today -- e.g. the robot interviewer can demand proofs of the user's skill, etc.

It can even be confidential (ie, robot interviewer <> user's agent in a black-box room) so that they can share data

Imagine you have a function f(user_profile) -> decision

You can run f in a way that respects the user's privacy (and also hides the details of f from the user).

Companies get ~10x more data from each interviewee

Interviewees don't need to even show up

Sounds like a good deal to me!
