Leaked software engineering recruiter selection guideline

In 2025, your programming interviews will require you to use an AI programming assistant.

Learn them. Get used to them. Become one with the machine. Or, go find another job.

That seems very unlikely, why would you think that will be a requirement?

Because I've been getting interviews where the hiring company "strongly encourages" use of such tools - interview projects are just too large to finish without LLM help within the forty five minute time limit.

I've heard that people who use these programming assistants during interviews are quickly weeded out. Is this not true?

Those who disclose that they’re doing it, sure.

Nope false. Interviewed at a few of the top dogs this year. Zero AI assistants allowed.

I've been having the opposite experience. The interviewer lets me know ahead of time that they highly encourage use of AI tools, and then ask you to finish a small project in an impossibly short period of time.

Maybe they're window shopping for talent.
