Great piece. I recruit engineers and data scientists. Have had one clear instance of a candidate sneakily using an LLM during the interview, to answer a verbal scenario question. Trouble is I work in a lab building GenAI products. You can't play a player. Remember kids, your fingers move when they type and your eyeballs move left to right when you're reading. CV was also full of exaggerations that were generated. Candidate rejected without feedback. We were lucky, suspect someone else has been stuck with the gpt copy&paster.

Pretty soon you’ll see people bridging audio with llm voice responses to their headset. I’ve had interviews where people have their friend bridging calls and doing the lookups. Some were incredibly stupid that we heard the typing from the next room lol. Anyway remote interviews are a nightmare already.

  It seems easier to me to just learn half-way decent programming skills than play all these games. Only half joking.

>> ... and your eyeballs move left to right when you're reading. How long until this is also fixed by the software? :-) This is within the state of the art now. >> CV was also full of exaggerations that were generated. +1. I see companies offering AI-generated CVs which barely even ask about the work a candidate has done. One of them stated that the customer should refine the AI-generated CV to match their actual skills and experience, but did not say anything about how their product/service helps with this. It's just left at AI-autogenerated CV. (Shame on such companies.)

  If I wanted an AI-generated CV, I could just ask ChatGPT to make one. Why would I pay a company to do it for me?

    +1. There are many companies (startups) in AI these days that are just creating prompts/templates. Their value addition is just from more experimentation with models and prompts than an average user. I agree this wouldn't be much, however could be enough to lure non-savvy users into paying.

  This is a good thing. Turn all actionable hiring signals to noise and make it a pure lottery.
