In the world of talent acquisition and technical hiring, a seismic shift is quietly underway. Earlier this year, Meta announced it is piloting a new kind of coding interview: one in which candidates may use AI assistants during the process. According to a report in Wired, Meta states it “is developing a new type of coding interview in which candidates have access to an AI assistant. This is more representative of the developer environment that our future employees will work in, and also makes LLM-based cheating less effective.” Meanwhile, companies like Anthropic have changed their minds about AI use during hiring, and Google will be adding in-person interviews back in their process as a reaction to AI-assisted cheating. These developments all raise provocative questions for senior HR and talent leaders: Should companies shift to evaluating candidates based on how effectively they can work with AI rather than solely on how they perform without it? And if so, how should hiring, assessment and performance metrics evolve accordingly?  The Senior Executive HR Think Tank—a curated group of senior leaders in employee experience, talent acquisition, DEI, performance management and AI in HR—is watching this shift closely. Below, they examine how this trend may reshape hiring practices and offer actionable strategies for implementation.
