I had roughly 5 interviews at the last place. Then they said I had to do one with the VP. Told the recruiter I was getting fed up and suddenly it was waived. Don’t be afraid to push back (unless you are desperate).

Much later on while helping with interviews myself there, I asked why they had this terrible process and they said it was because people were caught cheating with AI. I asked why they didn’t do in-person to prevent that. Fly them out. If they’re invested, and truly interested, they’ll do it. Then I realized my folly after they didn’t have an answer - they’re cheap fucks.

How does conducting many interviews help against candidates cheating with AI?

They thought it would help them notice patterns that give it away. Some candidates still got through and they didn’t notice until they were put to work where AI wasn’t accessible.

So it turns out artificial intelligence can beat natural stupidity after all?
