Lunch Break Session: How to Assess AI Fluency
Wednesday, June 24th 2026 PDT
AI is changing how developers work. It’s changing how hiring teams evaluate talent.
Candidates are using AI to write, debug, explain, and optimize code.
In fact, CoderPad’s 2026 State of Tech Hiring report found that 82% of developers find GenAI useful, and 54% say their productivity would drop if AI tools were removed tomorrow.
The question for hiring teams is no longer:
“Should candidates use AI?”
It’s:
“Can they use AI well?”
As AI becomes part of everyday engineering work, traditional technical interviews are no longer enough to evaluate how candidates actually solve problems.
Join CoderPad for a practical Lunch Break Session on how to assess AI fluency in technical interviews and identify candidates who can effectively use AI while demonstrating strong engineering judgment, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
CoderPad has powered more than 4 million technical interviews, is trusted by 4,000+ companies including Meta, OpenAI, Spotify, LinkedIn, Goldman Sachs, Shopify, and Snowflake, and has helped teams conduct more than 50,000 AI interviews.
This isn’t another webinar about AI trends.
You’ll leave with practical frameworks and tactical interviewing techniques you can immediately apply to your technical hiring process.
What You’ll Learn
✅ What AI fluency actually means in technical roles
Learn the skills and behaviors that distinguish engineers who effectively leverage AI from those who simply know how to generate code.
✅ What good AI usage looks like during a coding interview
Understand how strong candidates use AI to accelerate problem solving while maintaining ownership, judgment, and technical rigor.
✅ How to evaluate AI fluency during technical interviews
Discover what interviewers should observe, ask, and score when AI tools are available.
✅ How to assess judgment, debugging, validation, and reasoning
Learn how to differentiate between candidates who rely on AI outputs and candidates who can effectively validate, improve, and apply them.
✅ How to build a stronger AI interviewing process
Get practical tips for incorporating AI-enabled workflows into your hiring process without sacrificing assessment quality.
Why Attend?
By the end of this session, you’ll have:
• A clear framework for evaluating AI fluency in technical candidates
• Practical guidance on observing candidate behavior in AI-enabled interviews
• Tactical interview questions and evaluation criteria you can use immediately
• Greater confidence in distinguishing AI-assisted productivity from true engineering ability
• A preview of how AI fluency assessment frameworks may extend beyond technical roles
Everyone says they can use AI.
Learn how to identify the candidates who can prove it.

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 — […]
Your Question Bank Is Leaking. Here’s the Fix.
Every hiring team eventually hits the same wall: TA own raising the bar, don’t have the technical knowledge required to write questions that test for it. So teams are improvising, a shared question bank, a busy engineer’s spare 20 minutes, and last year’s assessment recycled one more time. It feels fine butt isn’t. Recycled and […]
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 […]
Best Technical Assessment Software for HR Teams in 2026
Finding the best technical assessment software for HR teams isn’t about finding the platform with the longest feature list. It’s about finding the platform that helps you identify real skills quickly, fairly, and consistently. The challenge for recruiting and talent acquisition teams is separating signal from noise. A candidate may have an impressive resume or […]
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 […]
2026 Product Recap: Technical Hiring Has Changed. We Built for What Comes Next.
AI has fundamentally changed how engineers work. It’s not a tool candidates might use anymore. It’s embedded in how code gets written, reviewed, and shipped every day. In many teams, the majority of code is already AI-assisted—and growing. Which leads to a clear conclusion for hiring teams: Trying to remove AI from the interview process […]
