Instead of asking the candidate to solve coding challenges, ask them to create a coding challenge. The interviewer can then use ChatGPT to see if the coding challenge the candidate wrote was already known to ChatGPT or if it was indeed created from whole cloth by the candidate. Example:
Interviewer: "Create a coding challenge that requires sorting a CSV file by timestamp. Require the timestamps to be in some weird, nonstandard format and describe the format. Provide a few entries in the sample data that contain a timestamp which is ambiguous."
- echelon 3y agoI did lots of hiring (500+) in my previous company. The challenge is to develop an interview that gives a wide dynamic range of signal, a lot of opportunities for the candidate to shine, easy escape hatches for different skill sets (or even different problems), and a sequence of achievable milestones. This is not something you can do in an hour or without play-testing your interview problem.
