Atlanta Happy Hour: Cheating, Code & Cocktails
About
Join CoderPad and our friends from Apple and McAfee for an unforgettable evening of drinks, dev talk, and a deep dive into one of the most viral tech hiring stories of the year.
The Story? A candidate who cracked the system—landing offers from Amazon, Meta, and more through an elaborate cheat setup. A wave of LinkedIn chatter questioning how we assess technical skills today. And how CoderPad is staying miles ahead, using smarter tools to protect your hiring process.
What We’ll Cover: The “Interview Coder” cheat scandal: what actually happened (and how they pulled it off). How leading teams are detecting fraud before it starts. What fair, secure, and developer-friendly hiring actually looks like in 2025. Real stories from the front lines of tech recruiting.
Featuring:
Brian Finke – Talent Acquisition Partner, McAfee
Steve Rath – Head of Technical Recruiting, Apple
You’ll also meet the CoderPad leadership crew:
Amanda Richardson – CEO
Terrence Fox – VP of Sales
Amanda Perry – VP of Customer Success
Catherine Hill – VP of Marketing
Come for the scandal. Stay for the solutions. 🥂
