Would you actually trust AI during a real job interview?
I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI is starting to change the way people approach job interviews.
Recently, I came across a tool called Linkjob AI, and it raised an interesting question:
Are we moving from “preparing for interviews”… to “outsourcing them”?
The idea behind it
Unlike traditional prep tools, this kind of software doesn’t just help you practice.
It actually:
listens to interview questions in real time
generates suggested answers instantly
even helps with coding problems during live interviews
Some versions claim responses can be generated in under a second, which is fast enough to keep up with a conversation
And yes, one of its main selling points is that it tries to stay invisible during screen sharing or online interviews
Where it gets interesting
At first glance, it sounds like just another AI assistant.
But if you think about it, this is fundamentally different from:
mock interview tools
resume optimizers
or question banks
This is more like a real-time co-pilot for interviews.
Not preparation.
Execution.
The ethical gray area
This is where opinions start to split.
On one hand:
It helps candidates perform better
Reduces stress in high-pressure situations
Acts like a “thinking partner” when you get stuck
On the other hand:
Is it still your answer?
Would companies consider this cheating?
Does it create an uneven playing field?
Some platforms even emphasize being “undetectable,” which makes the intention pretty clear
Practical reality
From a purely practical perspective, tools like this are probably here to stay.
They already:
support multiple languages
integrate with platforms like Zoom, Teams, and coding interview tools
adapt answers based on your resume and job description
And for technical roles, they can even analyze code problems via screenshots and suggest solutions in real time
But there are also concerns
Not everything about it feels solid yet.
Some review sources rate the site as relatively low trust or “questionable,” suggesting people should be cautious and test before relying on it
Also, depending on how you use it, there could be risks:
getting flagged in strict interview environments
over-reliance on AI instead of actual skills
or just using it in a way that backfires
A bigger shift
What’s really interesting is the direction this points to:
Interviews might become less about what you know,
and more about how well you use tools.
Kind of like what happened with:
calculators in math
or GitHub in programming
Final thought
I’m genuinely curious how people feel about this.
If you had access to a tool like this during a real interview, would you use it?
Or would you rather rely on your own preparation and take the risk?
