Overview

  • Meta launched the AIEnabled Interviews pilot on July 31, allowing select coding candidates to use AI assistants during technical assessments.
  • The company expects AI access to curb LLM-based cheating by aligning tests with developers’ daily use of AI tools.
  • The AIEnabled Interviews memo invites current employees to join mock coding sessions to refine questions and simulate real-world workflows.
  • Human-led interviews and traditional skill evaluations remain part of the process to balance AI-enabled tests with conventional assessments.
  • The pilot complements Meta’s broader AI integration strategy, diverges from peers such as Amazon and Anthropic, and follows the launch of Superintelligence Labs and a $14.3 billion stake in Scale AI.
