## “Anti-Cheat” Candidate Communication Templates

Transparency builds trust and deters cheating. Share what candidates need to know: process details, timelines, and assessment formats (how and what are you trying to evaluate?). Keep critical elements private to maintain integrity. Note: It may seem obvious, but remember to always share the same information with every potential hire. You want to set all […]

## How to Hire for AI Fluency Now That It’s a Critical Skill

Based on the CoderPad webinar featuring Bayo Ojuri (CoderPad), Bonnie Dilber (Zapier), and Melany Austin (GoDaddy). “AI fluency” has quietly become a line item in nearly every technical job description. The problem: most teams added the requirement long before they had a reliable way to assess it. You can ask a candidate whether they use […]

## Hot Takes on Hiring: “AI Fluency” Is a Myth

Our CEO, Amanda Richardson, and our Head of Product, Frank Hauben, can’t agree on anything else. We put Amanda and Frank on camera, handed them five spicy hot takes about AI in hiring, and told them not to sit on the fence. They sat on the fence anyway. Here’s what they actually fought about. Amanda […]

## 5 Unfiltered Takes on AI That Engineering Leaders Actually Believe

We put a room full of senior engineering leaders together, took away the slides, added beer, and asked them to say the thing they’d never put in a LinkedIn post. No PR-approved talking points, no vendor gloss, just people who ship for a living telling the truth about what AI is doing inside their orgs […]

## Your Developer Interview Loop Is a Year Old. Is It Still Finding Your Best Candidates?

A YC-backed founder called me last week with some good questions. His 20-person startup hadn’t hired an engineer in over a year. Now they’re opening reqs again, and instead of just dusting off the old loop, he wanted to understand how interviews had changed and if candidates were ready for AI interviews. His process — […]

## AI Fluency Is the New Technical Skill. Is Your Hiring Process Ready?

Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed software development. Developers are no longer working in isolation, writing every line of code from memory. AI has become part of the engineering workflow, helping developers brainstorm approaches, generate boilerplate code, and debug complex issues. The question isn’t whether engineers are using AI. It’s how effectively they’re using it. Hiring […]

## AI Didn’t Kill Entry Level Hiring. Bad Screening Did.

For the last two years, the narrative has been loud, confident, and mostly wrong: AI is coming for entry level engineering jobs. The story goes something like this: If AI can write code, summarize docs, generate tests, and debug basic issues, why would companies still hire junior engineers? It sounds logical. It is also incomplete. […]

## The Resume Is Dead. Most Teams Just Haven’t Admitted It Yet.

Resumes made sense when applying for a job took real effort. That era is over. AI lets candidates apply to hundreds of roles in the time it once took to write a single cover letter. Employer-side AI systems process the flood. The result is a hiring funnel built almost entirely on artificial signals, where the […]

## Is Your Technical Hiring Process Screening Out Great Engineers?

The short answer: Many technical hiring processes are doing the latter. High-friction interview loops, live coding under observation, and AI-restrictive assessments are measuring interview performance, not job performance. The fix isn’t rebuilding from scratch — it’s auditing whether your process measures engineering capability or something else entirely. If you attended our recent webinar with CoderPad […]

## Junior Developers Are Your Strategic Advantage—If You Can Actually Evaluate Them

Campus recruiting season arrives the same way every year: hundreds of applications, a narrow window, and a process that was never designed for this much volume or this much pressure. Meanwhile, the definition of “technical skill” is actively shifting—AI-polished resumes have made traditional screening nearly meaningless, and the skills that predict junior developer success look […]
