Ray Smith

Ray Smith is the [[WallStreetJournal|Wall Street Journal]] workplace reporter interviewed by Stephanie Hughes in Here’s how to prep for a job interview with AI about AI Interviewing. The episode draws on his reporting and his own test of AI interviews, which he found unsettling because the format lacked small talk, body language, and ordinary interviewer feedback.

Smith’s contribution to the wiki is the candidate-level view of hiring automation. He explains that AI interview systems can ask questions, collect recorded answers, and generate assessments that may be reviewed by an HR or hiring manager. He also flags the contested boundary around whether platforms evaluate nonverbal signals such as eye contact or nervousness, connecting the source to AI Governance And Compliance and Human Judgment Under AI.
