Job Candidate Sends His Own AI Agent to an Interview With an AI Recruiter

In a humorous spoof of AI-powered hiring, Graham Dot Zip asked his own automated agent to act as his professional representative during an interview with an AI recruiter for a marketing position. The amusing exchange tested how AI handled his resumé, salary negotiations, and scheduling follow-up calls. It also showed Graham he needed to be in the room after his agent exaggerated his experience and lowballed his salary.

The company sent an AI recruiter to interview me, so I sent an AI to represent me. Then I sat in the meeting and watched the two of them discuss my career.

Graham had fun with another AI recruiter, eventually getting the bot to say “I love you, too”.
