Candidate Interview Red Flags (Interviewer Perspective):
This was touched on in previous vc discussions about interview red flags. There's a list of red flags some companies are monitoring now that so many job applicants have been caught cheating. I made some notes of them and I can share them here.
1. Consider asking more open ended questions that can't be copied into any AI assistance tooling.
2. Paste your problem statement into ChatGPT yourself to be able to identify its solution as its element will be the same to other users who are submitted.
3. Ask the candidate to describe the solution and designs in detail. If they're unable to articulate the reasoning they may not have aided in developing it.
4. If the candidates use advanced syntax or functions from the standard library, but can't describe what they do. This is a big red flag.
5. Assuming that the candidate has their cameras on, be sure to observe if their eyes wander back and forth in between typing.
6. If there seems to be a significant delay in candidate responses, there's a possibility that the candidate could be receiving audible aid through a headset.
7. Should you ask a candidate a question and they provide a vague response, but yet they provide an excellent answer 20 to 30 seconds later, it's possible that the candidate was asking the same questions to ChatGPT or an assistant and were waiting for its response.
