When AI interviews cost $20, judgment becomes the expensive part.
Amazon Connect Talent is offering AI-led interviews, assessments, scoring, transcripts and evaluations for about $20 per completed evaluation and that number matters.
Here's why - The cost of running an interview is heading down fast. The cost of making a bad hiring decision is not.
As AI takes over more of the interview mechanics, I think the differentiator shifts toward something harder to automate:
Can you define what good actually looks like?
Can you design an assessment that measures the work instead of trivia?
Can you tell the difference between a strong answer and a rehearsed one?
Can you recognize when the AI-generated evaluation is missing valuable context?
Recruiting teams are going to be able to interview more people, faster and cheaper.
That doesn’t automatically mean they’ll make better hires.
AI interviewing is going to get even cheaper..soon.
Good hiring judgment probably isn’t.

My client told me: "I feel invisible. I apply and hear nothing because I'm not in the US."
That’s exactly why I do reverse recruitment.
For the last month, I was his job search team. I found the companies, wrote the applications, pitched him to managers.
Yesterday he sent me: "I have 2 final interviews."
That message is why I do this.
If you’re applying from outside US/EU and getting ignored, it’s not your experience. It’s your distribution.
let’s talk.
I built Vetra, an AI technical interviewer that makes interviews more structured, adaptive, and realistic.
Vetra conducts real-time voice interviews, explores a candidate’s experience, adapts its questions based on their responses, evaluates performance, and generates structured assessments.
I built the interview orchestration with LangGraph, added real-time voice interaction using Gemini Live, and created a separate evaluation layer for evidence-based scoring.
The goal was to create an AI interview experience that feels more like a real technical conversation than a chatbot.
Jonathan, keeping the evaluation layer separate from the interviewer is a smart choice. When the same model asks and scores, it tends to grade its own questions kindly. How are you handling silence and long pauses on the voice side? That was the hardest part for us on a voice AI build.
