Intro: The Resume Lied. Again.

If you're still evaluating candidates based on resumes alone, congrats: you're running a museum.

The world has changed. Candidates are using large language models (LLMs) to rewrite resumes, script their interviews, and even deepfake their way through technical screens. Meanwhile, most hiring teams are stuck using tools built for 2010—and wondering why time-to-hire keeps getting longer.

That’s what made the ERE panel on the AI Revolution in Talent Acquisition so timely. It wasn’t just another hype-fest about "what AI might do." It was a field report from the frontlines—where recruiters are actively battling fraud, rethinking assessments, and trying to figure out how to use AI without losing the human edge.

Here are 5 takeaways from that discussion, rewritten in true Feenyx fashion.

‍

AI Is Already In Your Interviews. Whether You Like It or Not.

Hiring Team Insight: In the panel, multiple leaders shared that they suspect candidates are using tools like ChatGPT, but they have no way to prove it. That uncertainty is paralyzing. One TA director said, "I’m losing sleep over interviews where I think someone was cheating, but I can’t confirm it."

Assessment Outcome: Feenyx flags AI-generated answers in real-time—but also gives context. Did the candidate use AI to brainstorm, or to outright cheat?

Process Shift: What used to be a gut call is now an informed conversation.

Candidate Case: In a recent async interview for a customer support role, a candidate delivered polished, seemingly flawless responses. But Feenyx flagged multiple mid-response pauses followed by elevated typing activity—signaling copy-paste behavior. Upon review, the answers mirrored ChatGPT phrasing.

Hiring Team Insight: Fraud isn’t exclusive to engineering. Feenyx flags suspicious activity across roles.

‍

Fraud Isn’t the Whole Problem—It’s the Symptom.

Candidate Case: A recruiter shared a story of a candidate who nailed a live tech screen. But when the hiring manager asked a follow-up, the candidate froze. Turns out the code was pasted in from Copilot.

Hiring Team Insight: That team had no transcription. No analysis. They had to restart from scratch.

Feenyx Fix: Feenyx captures everything—screen activity, code submissions, voice transcriptions, and facial signals.

Process Shift: Feenyx surfaced inconsistencies between a candidate’s async coding challenge and their explanation, revealing the work had been outsourced.

Assessment Outcome: More than a fraud detector, Feenyx is a pattern finder. You get visibility into how candidates solve problems—not just their final result.

‍

Speed Still Wins—But Only If You Can Trust It

Process Shift: One panelist reduced time-to-hire from 62 to 34 days by pairing async assessments with Feenyx scoring tools.

Assessment Outcome: Instant summaries, side-by-side comparisons, and fraud alerts replace manual review and guesswork.

Hiring Team Insight: Faster processes reduce candidate ghosting. Delays kill momentum—and your top picks.

Candidate Case: One enterprise team found their offer acceptance rate surged when Feenyx cut interview logistics by half.

Process Shift: Feenyx replaces multi-step screens with one async assessment and one co-piloted interview.

Co-Pilots > Flags

Process Shift: Feenyx joins you in the interview, transcribing, summarizing, and suggesting questions in real-time.

Hiring Team Insight: One team replaced post-interview write-ups entirely. Feenyx does it automatically.

Candidate Case: One candidate said, “I loved this experience! It actually reflects the job. Really allowed me to actually showcase what I know I can do. I can’t say enough good things about this.”

Assessment Outcome: For a customer success role, Feenyx tracked empathy, tone, and problem-solving across ticket simulations.

Hiring Team Insight: “I used to dread back-to-back interviews… now Feenyx summarizes every session for me.”

If You’re Not Using AI, You’re Already Behind

Hiring Team Insight: 75% of employers now use some form of hiring automation. The best teams go beyond it with augmentation.

Assessment Outcome: Feenyx helps teams confidently say “yes” to great candidates—and back it up with data.

Process Shift: You stop guessing. Feenyx becomes your signal system.

Candidate Case: One recruiter used Feenyx to elevate a nontraditional applicant who aced the async challenge—despite a lackluster resume.
