Check that the candidate can code without AI

A correct explanation is not the same as writing the next change with no assistant. How to tell if a developer can code without AI explains the watched session.

What the candidate shows us is proctored tests, watched by a real person: a coding test with no AI allowed, a 2-hour build project with AI allowed, the Fire Drill (a live pair-programming session on a real-world problem), an English test, a thinking-skills test and a typing test. It also covers recorded reference checks. The menu is on Proctored tests. You pay for the tests you order.
