Interviewing for a Meta job? Get set for AI to be involved.
The company is preparing to use AI to automate key parts of its recruitment process, including testing coding skills and helping interviewers with question prompts, according to an internal document obtained by Business Insider.
The document reveals Meta's plans to lean on AI to carry out several functions in its hiring process in the latter half of this year. Meta aims to use AI for a lot of the administrative work involved in its recruitment process, like matching interviewers with candidates, transcribing interview notes, and flagging job posts that overlap.
Meta also intends to use an internal AI assistant to judge the quality of its human interviewers, including by flagging any questions that aren't inclusive, and assessing how "good" they are based on criteria such as the number of candidates they advance to the next stage and the quality of their feedback.
In addition, Meta plans to use the AI assistant to help interviewers with scheduling, including their preferences for how many internal or external interviews they want to conduct each week. It is also set to keep track of interviewers' skills, including what languages they speak.
The overall goal is to automate some functions, make its hiring processes more efficient, flexible, and adaptable, and improve the "interviewer conduct rate," according to the business outcomes listed in the document.
A Meta spokesperson told BI: "Like many other companies, we're using AI to make recruiting more efficient and match candidates with open roles more quickly. Humans talking to humans will always be part of the interview process, that remains unchanged."
Meta is not the only Big Tech firm turning to AI to streamline its recruitment operations. Amazon uses AI hiring tools to help screen candidates and find them relevant roles, although it doesn't want job seekers using AI to help them get ahead in interviews. The company has been cracking down on the use of AI tools like coding assistants and "teleprompter" apps, BI's Eugene Kim previously reported.
A growing number of companies are also embracing AI for a range of recruitment tasks. LinkedIn's "Future of Recruiting 2025" report, released in February, found 37% of organizations it surveyed were "actively integrating" or "experimenting" with adopting AI tools into their hiring process. That's up from 27% a year ago.

Instagram's (META) New Location Sharing Tool Causes User Backlash
Instagram's new location-sharing feature caused a wave of backlash among users after it launched earlier this week. Social media firm Meta (META) introduced the Instagram Map tool on Wednesday as a way to 'stay up-to-date with friends' by showing their 'last active location.' Similar to Snapchat's (SNAP) Snap Map, the feature allows people to see where their friends are posting from. While Meta stated that location sharing is turned off by default unless users choose to opt in, many users posted on Threads saying they were worried that this wasn't the case.

Some users said the tool could be dangerous, especially for those trying to stay safe from stalkers or abusers. According to CNBC, one Threads user said they were shocked that Instagram added a map feature that might reveal users' locations without warning. Another pointed out that this could be harmful for people with restraining orders and called it 'incredibly dangerous.' In response to the backlash, Instagram head Adam Mosseri posted on Threads, saying that most of the worries seemed to come from confusion. In fact, because people saw themselves on the map, they assumed others could too. Mosseri reassured users that sharing your location requires two steps of consent, which means that people have to confirm twice before their location is visible. Still, some users said their locations were shared even though they never agreed to it. One person said their map was automatically set to 'on' and shared with everyone, even though their phone settings had Instagram's location access turned off. Nevertheless, a Meta spokesperson emphasized that the feature is off by default and that your live location is only visible if you turn it on, and only to people you follow back or to a custom list you select. Is Meta a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on META stock based on 41 Buys, five Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average META price target of $871.84 per share implies 14.4% upside potential.

Instagram's Map is here, and this is how you can turn your location off
It's only been a couple of days since the Instagram Map launched, and from the looks of our social feeds, people are not happy about it. Responses have ranged from being mildly annoyed that Instagram is ripping off Snapchat's Snap Maps instead of offering a default feed that only contains your friends' posts, to high alert outrage about possibly privacy implications and doxing, as well as how domestic violence victims or others could be put at risk of stalking via the app. Meta says the feature is an 'opt-in' only way to share your active location with the friends you choose, or a way to browse the content friends and creators are posting, organized by the locations tagged to their posts and Reels. If the only thing you want to do is turn Instagram Maps location sharing off, here's Instagram's instructions on how to make sure the feature is disabled within the app (on both Android and iOS): If you haven't enabled location access for Instagram, Meta says that the map feature is disabled by default, and you won't be able to access the settings since it doesn't have access to that data. According to Instagram boss Adam Mosseri, people are seeing location-tagged posts and Reels that are also included in the map UI, and assuming that indicates a live-tracked location. 'Your last reel is showing up on the map, not your current location. Your live location is not being shared, and it will never be unless you decide to share it,' writes Mosseri. In another post, he promised, 'We'll get out a few design improvements as quickly as possible,' potentially by next week.

M&A News: Meta Acquires WaveForms AI
Social media firm Meta Platforms (META) has acquired a small startup called WaveForms AI, which builds artificial intelligence tools that can understand and copy human emotions through voice. According to The Information, the company was founded by Alexis Conneau, who previously worked on audio research at both Meta and OpenAI, and Coralie Lemaitre, who worked in advertising strategy at Google (GOOGL). Although WaveForms AI only launched in December, it quickly raised $40 million from big investors like Andreessen Horowitz.

The acquisition is part of Meta's aggressive approach to become the leader in AI after facing some setbacks earlier this year. In fact, Meta had to delay its new Llama 4 language model because it wasn't as strong in voice conversations as OpenAI's models. And since CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes that people will soon talk to AI regularly throughout the day, buying WaveForms AI could help make Meta one of the go-to platforms. As a result, Conneau and Lemaitre will now join Meta's Superintelligence Labs, the company's new AI division. In addition, Meta has recently hired experts from other AI voice companies like Sesame and bought another startup called PlayAI. It is also worth noting that the firm has been spending billions in order to poach talent from competitors, such as OpenAI and Apple (AAPL). Indeed, in June, Meta appointed Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang as its chief AI officer after committing $14.3 billion to his data-labeling company. It also brought in former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman and Safe Superintelligence founder Daniel Gross, and plans to partly buy out their venture fund, NFDG. Is Meta a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on META stock based on 41 Buys, five Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average META price target of $871.84 per share implies 13.9% upside potential.
