​AI interviews are no longer a novelty. They're the new normal in tech hiring.

Our Founder Ben Broughton was recently featured in ContractorUK, one of the UK's leading publications for IT contractors, sharing his insight on one of the biggest shifts in the market right now: the rise of the AI-led interview.

As a specialist technology recruitment agency working across the UK and US, we see AI hiring trends playing out in real time, and Ben's piece reflects exactly what our teams are experiencing on the ground. With nearly half of UK job-seekers now having sat an AI interview and the majority of recruiters planning to scale their use, the article breaks down what IT contractors need to know to walk in prepared. From the four main types of AI interview to why asynchronous video is the most common format for contract tech roles, it's a practical guide for any tech professional navigating the current hiring landscape.

As Ben puts it: candidates who treat AI interviews as something they can wing are the ones who tend to struggle. The good news is that with the right preparation, they're very much passable.

Whether you're actively exploring contract hiring opportunities in the UK or US, or simply want to stay ahead of the curve on 2026 hiring trends, it's well worth a read.
