On our side we've transitioned to only in person interviews.
The biggest thing I've noticed is take home challenges have lost all value. Since GPT can plausibly solve almost anything you throw at it, and it doesn't give you any indication of how the candidate thinks.
And to be fair, I want a candidate that uses GPT / Cursor / whatever tools get the job done. But reading the same AI solution to a coding challenge doesn't tell me anything about how they think or approach problems.
- ghaff 2y agoI'm not a fan of take-home challenges anyway (for the most part). Anything non-trivial is a big time suck and you know some people will spend all weekend on you two hour assignment. Sometimes you have to. In my previous analyst stint a writing sample was pretty non-negotiable unless they could oint to publicly-published material--which was much preferred. ChatGPT isn't much use there except to save some time. It's very formulaic and wouldn't pass though, honestly, some people are worse on their own.
- chrisfowles 2y agoFrom my perspective, you might be using take-home challenges incorrectly. The purpose for us is to have something that both sides are now somewhat familiar with, on which to base a technical conversation and ask questions. The actual solution delivered is a small part of the overall value.
