With AI enabling candidates to complete take-home coding tests without demonstrating true skills, IT hiring is shifting toward live coding assessments, pairing sessions, and paid trials that better evaluate problem-solving and communication in real time.

These approaches help employers more accurately assess technical competence and collaborative abilities in an AI-influenced hiring landscape.
