Technological advancements allow the automation of every part job interviews (information acquisition, information analysis, action selection, implementation) resulting in highly automated interviews. Efficiency advantages exist, but it is unclear how people react to such (and whether reactions depend on stakes involved). Participants ( N = 123) a 2 (highly automated, videoconference) × (high‐stakes, low‐stakes situation) experiment watched and assessed videos depicting interview for high‐stakes (selection) (training) situations or an equivalent videoconference interview. Automated led ambiguity less perceived controllability. Additionally, diminished overall acceptance through lower social presence fairness. To conclude, seem negatively seems vary based stakes.
