AI has revolutionized technical interviews, blurring the line between genuine skill and cheating with perfect solutions and polished answers. In response, companies are shifting back to in-person interviews for real-time cognitive transparency, authenticity constraints, realistic collaboration signals, reduced noise in the pipeline, and rebalancing the playing field. In this new era of AI-resistant interviewing, the focus is on measuring human reasoning through activities like explaining code, real-time architectural debates, physical whiteboards, live collaboration, adaptive questioning, and behavioral questions without scripts.
