Meta (formerly Facebook) is testing AI assistants as part of the coding interview process. An internal memo provided to employees solicited volunteers for "mock AI-enabled interviews" as part of the test.
All the details about the plan were outlined in a post on the corporate social media platform titled "AI-Enabled Interviews—Call for Mock Candidates", and said it wants to provide a more realistic process for looking for candidates, as this will be how AI tools will be used in the real world.
The spokesperson of Meta confirmed, "We’re obviously focused on using AI to help engineers with their day-to-day work, so it should be no surprise that we’re testing how to provide these tools to applicants during interviews".
"Meta is developing a new type of coding interview in which candidates have access to an AI assistant. This is more representative of the developer environment that our future employees will work in, and also makes LLM-based cheating less effective", mentioned in the post.

The post added, "We need mock candidates. If you would like to experience a mock AI-enabled interview, please sign up in this sheet. The questions are still in development; data from you will help shape the future of interviewing at Meta".
"I think this year, probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code", stated Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in January.
"Over time, we’ll get to a point where a lot of the code in our apps and including the AI that we generate, is actually going to be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers … In the future, people are going to be so much more creative, and they’re going to be freed up to do kind of crazy things", he added.
