AI-native technical interviews

See how engineers actually work with AI tools

One round of your existing loop, run in a real editor and terminal with an AI tool alongside. Your interviewers see how the candidate directed it, and score against a shared rubric.

Reviewing approach: locking strategy under contention
The problem

Interview signal broke when AI became normal

Every stage in a standard loop now measures something other than the job. Candidates know it, and so do your engineers.

Take-homes measure free time

A great submission and a generated one look the same. You end up interviewing the code, not the engineer who sent it.

Whiteboards ban the daily tools

Banning the assistant tests memory, not judgment. The skill you are actually hiring for, directing a model well, never shows up.

Nobody scores the skill that matters

Engineers direct a model every day, then get hired on a loop that never looks at it. RecruIQ drops into your existing pipeline and scores that work.

Where it fits

One round, in place of the take-home

How it works

Three steps from setup to a decision you can explain

01

Create the opening

Pick a task, select the language, add interviewers. Set it up once and reuse it for every role on the team.

02

Candidate works for real

A real editor and terminal, plus an AI tool with a visible token meter. Keystrokes and prompts are recorded as they work.

03

Review the report

A rubric-based report: how your interviewers scored each axis, how the candidate used the AI tool, and the points in the session behind each score.

Session record

Watch the process, not just the diff

Play back the whole session. Every prompt and rewrite is marked on the timeline, so your debrief runs on what actually happened rather than what anyone remembers.

Rubric reports

Compare candidates on one rubric

Same task, same rubric, same scale, so two candidates are genuinely comparable. Your interviewers set every score. RecruIQ records the session and presents the evidence behind it, and never decides an outcome on its own.

For candidates

An interview engineers do not resent

One scheduled session instead of a weekend of homework. Candidates see the rubric before they start, and work in a normal editor with the AI tool switched on.

None of these are live yet. They are what we are building next so stage changes, reports and scheduling sync both ways instead of moving by CSV. Tell us which one you need first and it moves up the list.

FAQ

The questions we get first

Cheating assumes the tool is banned. Here it is part of the task. We record every prompt, and your interviewers score how well the candidate directed, verified, and corrected the model. Someone who pastes an answer they cannot explain scores badly on framing and tool direction.
