About this listen

 In this episode live from TalentSphere, we talk with our guest Kyle Lagunas Founder of Kyle & Co about what AI interviewers are, how they are being used in real hiring processes, and what risks companies face if they deploy them without structure or governance. We break down independent research evaluating 12 AI interviewer platforms, explain why inconsistent implementation creates legal and ethical exposure, and outline how to use AI in interviews responsibly. If you are asking whether AI interviewers are worth it, compliant, or fair, or you like to listen to people who randomly break out in song this conversation is for you.
