The Digital Gatekeepers (Initial Screening) Before you speak to a person, you must pass through automated layers: AI Resume Parsing: Algorithms scan for keywords matching the Job Description (JD). Asynchronous Video Interviews (AVIs): You may be asked to record short video responses to prompted questions. AI tools often analyze these for communication style and key competencies. Technical/Skills Assessment: A practical "work sample" test or gamified assessment to verify you can actually do the job.
