Overview

• Meta confirmed it will allow selected software-developer candidates to use AI assistants during coding interviews under its new “AI-Enabled Interviews” program.
• Initial trials in July recruited volunteer employees as mock candidates to refine question sets and tool integrations before a wider rollout.
• The initiative is designed to mirror Meta’s internal “vibecoding” practice of writing code alongside large language models and to curb LLM-based cheating.
• The move aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s prediction that future app development will rely heavily on AI engineers authoring code with AI tools.
• Meta’s permissive approach contrasts with companies such as Amazon and Anthropic, which instruct recruiters to disqualify applicants for using AI in interviews.
