Just noticed that replies to my post didn't give me any notification 😮‼️ Am I missing some obvious setting somewhere? (like by default disabled DMs)

What do you do when you catch candidates cheating with AI during interviews? (when it is upfront forbidden) When it is obvious, i.e. they have no clue what they write, why, or start parroting encyclopedic knowledge without saying why.

The "fun" thing is my colleagues met cheaters over last half a year if not longer. I didn't, until couple of weeks ago (and I interview a lot ... 150-200 per year) And it is second instance since then ...

Poll time: Would you consider using AI in interview, when it is explicitly forbidden? If yes and if you were found out, how would you react?

Using AI in interviews -- looking for volunteers for mock AI-enabled interviews. If you are proficient in using AI in your daily work (job, hobby projects, school work), and you'd like to try to use them also during interview, ping me. This is community-driven effort!

If there is too high demand, we might start choosing participants - will be done in direct DMs.

What to expect? ... We will adjust as we go, but first proposal is: - 1h interview session (over Teams with shared screen to see how you use your favorite AI in your preferred IDE) - 30-60 mins free chat/on-off mentoring session (either same session, or separate)

Few of us, interested in hiring, want to find out how best to assess candidates who use AI - their ability to use AI tools efficiently to be more productive at their job. AI tools put an end to Leetcode-style questions, so let's find a way how to assess the AI-empowered engineer.

Interview feedback on the spot: I interview quite a lot, let's say 150-200 interviews per year and I love it. One thing I started doing more often this year is to give feedback immediately at the end of the interview (mostly tech screens lately).

What are your experiences, tips, tricks? From either side - candidate or interviewer. Anyone here had interview with me and wants to give me feedback back? I would welcome it! (so far I got a few positive ones, but don't be shy to be constructive, I ain't perfect and might make mistakes ;))

I give tips for future interviews like my 'blog post' karelz.github.io/interview_pr... Which I should turn into better hiring info page and ask more people to get their take on the problematic.

Not always, only when I see the person being receptive and showing signs to learn something from it, or if they ask themselves. I tell them 'no' and why. I tell 'great', improve this / watch out for that and good luck in next round. Overall, perhaps 50% cases get feedback from me on the spot.
