Summary<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After conducting 15,000 AI-assisted virtual interviews for our Banking and Financial services clients, we\u2019ve found that the business outcomes AI recruitment technology vendors promise have not materialized. Hiring volume has not increased. Cost per hire has not decreased. Quality of hire has not changed. And candidate completion rates have declined. On the positive side, we\u2019ve seen improvement in candidate response times to initial outreach, we\u2019re capturing a broader talent pipeline, and we\u2019re achieving higher pre-screening throughput. AI interviewing does make recruiters more productive during the initial screening process–but it does not produce better hiring outcomes. This brief outlines what the data is telling us, the narrow gains we have seen, and what we believe CHROs and VPs of Talent Acquisition should consider before making new investments in AI talent acquisition platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Robertson\u2019s use of AI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Robertson has piloted a variety of AI recruiting tools to improve our recruitment team\u2019s effectiveness and productivity. As early adopters, we deploy a range of AI tools across our recruitment process and have contributed significantly to the development of one of the more sophisticated, human-like AI interview platforms on the market.\u00a0\u00a0After conducting 15,000 AI-assisted virtual interviews with our banking and financial services clients, we have not seen the business outcomes that vendors promise\u2014or the outcomes we hoped to achieve. Hiring volume has not increased. Cost per hire has not decreased. Quality of hire has not changed. And candidate completion rates have declined.\u00a0\u00a0Part of what’s driving the decline is structural. The AI-assisted path adds steps to the recruitment process, and each additional step creates risk in both directions: more opportunity for recruiters to misuse the tool, and more opportunity for candidates to exit before ever engaging with a person. It is simply easier to walk away from a bot than from a recruiter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a marginal\u00a0observation.\u00a0It\u00a0is a consistent operational reality across the work we do. The technology delivers what it is sold to deliver at the interface level.\u00a0The\u00a0broader\u00a0recruitment\u00a0outcomes it\u00a0promises to deliver\u00a0are\u00a0not\u00a0evident\u00a0in our\u00a0data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u00a0our data\u00a0is telling us<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Five findings\u00a0that\u00a0warrant\u00a0attention:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No increase in hires.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Adding tools has not translated into more hires.\u00a0\u00a0Despite materially higher screening throughput, completed hires have not risen at a rate that justifies the per-hire economics of the technology. Faster screening of the same \u2014 or fewer \u2014 actual hires is activity, not productivity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Limited reduction in time-to-hire.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Time-to-hire reductions tracked\u00a0roughly one-third\u00a0of the screening time saved. The\u00a0remainder\u00a0was absorbed by parts of the process \u2014 scheduling, hiring manager interviews, debriefs, offer cycles, background checks \u2014 that remain human-paced and human-bound.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Cost per hire has not decreased.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Costs\u00a0per screen\u00a0have\u00a0dropped in some categories. Cost per hire \u2014 the metric that matters for the talent acquisition budget \u2014 has\u00a0remained\u00a0essentially flat\u00a0once the full cost of AI\u00a0integration,\u00a0ongoing management, retraining, and exception handling is included.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Rising candidate\u00a0abandonment rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>We are\u00a0observing\u00a0a measurable increase in\u00a0interviews that\u00a0started but not finished. Our working hypothesis is that AI-mediated processes create\u00a0additional\u00a0“exit\u00a0pathways\u201d\u00a0moments at which candidates.\u00a0The lower psychological cost of leaving a conversation with a machine, perceived impersonality, and discomfort with the format are all plausible contributors. Whatever the cause, the effect is measurable and material.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. No difference\u00a0across role-level.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The conventional vendor belief \u2014 that AI works disproportionately well for high-volume, hourly, or lower-skill roles \u2014 is not supported by our data. Outcomes for hourly roles look broadly similar to outcomes for professional roles. This is significant because most enterprise AI talent business cases explicitly assume role-level segmentation as the source of ROI.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            We do not want to overstate the negative\u00a0findings.\u00a0Three modest gains are worth acknowledging:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Off-hours and overflow capacity improved, particularly during peak hiring cycles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
              • Candidate response times to\u00a0initial\u00a0outreach improved measurably.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                  \n
                • Pipeline coverage in tight markets widened, as recruiter availability was no longer the binding constraint at the very top of the funnel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  These are real. However, they are not the gains the technology promises to deliver, and organizations expect. They are second-order benefits, but they are not what most AI talent acquisition business cases rest on.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  The process redesign question<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  To the extent any ROI\u00a0is\u00a0realized\u00a0on the implementation of AI\u00a0tools, the single largest predictor in our data is whether the organization treated AI screening as a workflow upgrade or as a technology purchase.\u00a0Like any successful technology\u00a0implementation, organizations\u00a0that redesigned hiring manager engagement, debrief cadence, and intake practices saw at least some realized benefit.\u00a0Organizations\u00a0that did\u00a0not,\u00a0did\u00a0not. In either\u00a0case, the\u00a0gains\u00a0did not\u00a0approach what vendor models projected.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  This is uncomfortable because it implies that AI is the easy part. The work – process redesign, manager training, governance – is what most organizations do not budget for and do not sequence properly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Implications for investment decisions<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  For CHROs planning talent acquisition investments, four recommendations warrant consideration:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Scope the business case to actual outcomes<\/span><\/b>, not vendor projections. The relevant metrics are hiring volume, cost per hire, time to hire, quality of hire, and candidate completion rate. Throughput and cost per screen are not.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    1. Treat candidate\u00a0abandonment\u00a0rate as a leading indicator<\/span><\/b>. A rising\u00a0abandonment\u00a0rate is a signal \u2014 of candidate experience erosion, of misfit between process and audience, or both. It will eventually\u00a0show up\u00a0downstream, but it is detectable earlier if it is being measured.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                        \n
                      1. Question role-level segmentation in vendor business cases<\/span><\/b>. If a\u00a0vendor’s\u00a0projected ROI relies heavily on the assumption that AI works best for hourly or volume roles, test that assumption against independent operating data before underwriting it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                          \n
                        1. Budget process\u00a0redesign\u00a0at parity with technology cost<\/span><\/b>. In our experience, the realistic ratio is closer to 1:1 than the 1:4 most AI investment cases assume. Plan for a\u00a0flat\u00a0first year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          For organizations planning 2027 talent acquisition investments, the right question is no longer whether to deploy AI, but what to budget alongside it, what to measure, and what to expect.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          A note on\u00a0methodology<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Findings in this brief are drawn from Robertson’s RPO\u00a0clients in\u00a0financial services\u00a0from\u00a0January 2025\u00a0to\u00a0January 2026. Comparisons are made against matched control cohorts using traditional screening over the same period. Quality-of-hire data reflects six- and twelve-month performance ratings provided by client partners. We are glad to walk client teams through the underlying data ranges in more detail under\u00a0appropriate confidentiality\u00a0arrangements.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
