Voice AI in Firms: A Natural Field Experiment on Automated Job Interviews
A September 2026 working paper by Brian Jabarian (Carnegie Mellon) and Luca Henkel (Erasmus Rotterdam) reporting a field experiment with 70,000 real applicants randomly assigned to be interviewed by a human recruiter or an AI voice agent. Applicants interviewed by AI were 12% more likely to receive an offer, with higher job starts and retention and no drop in on-the-job productivity. Transcript analysis traces the gain to more structured, consistent interviews that still adapt to each applicant.
