Have you tried those AI leetcode platforms that proctor the candidate?

> it’s near impossible to tell who is cheating

Ask them to answer with their eyes closed?

The leetcode platforms, that we use, have the candidate on camera while they work on the take home but it’s the same problem. If they have ChatGPT on an alternate laptop it’s not recorded. Recently everyone seems to be getting 100% on every take home.

These are senior and principal engineers that we want on our team. I fear being distrusting like this is a terrible first step and might dissuade them from joining.
