I have been seeing the same thing. Teams are confused right now because interviews still measure 2015-era skills, while day-to-day work requires 2025-era AI collaboration skills. Most companies either ignore LLM usage completely or try to forbid it in interviews, even though developers will use it 50%+ of the time on the job. One interesting direction I’ve been exploring is evaluating candidates on how they think with AI, not whether they avoid it. Things like debugging AI-generated code, verifying assumptions, identifying hallucinations, choosing when to trust the model, etc. These are the actual bottlenecks today, not LeetCode puzzles. We built an internal tool that looks at this “cognitive intelligence” part instead of raw coding speed, and the signals have been much more predictive than traditional interviews. I feel like more companies will eventually move toward this kind of evaluation because banning AI in interviews makes less sense every day.
