This masterclass examines how artificial intelligence is reshaping hiring in the tech industry. With AI making code generation easier, employers are shifting focus from pure output to candidates' ability to understand, evaluate and take ownership of the code they produce. We look at what traditional coding tests can and cannot reveal, outline emerging assessment formats now seen in technical hiring, and describe the behaviours and signals that help candidates stand out in an AI-influenced recruitment process.

The session’s focus

  • Understand the limitations of traditional coding tests in an AI-enabled workplace.
  • Recognize newer technical assessment formats, including AI-allowed take-home assignments and live code reviews.
  • Identify practical ways to demonstrate code understanding, critical thinking, technical judgment, and ownership.

Who is it for?

Computer science students, recent graduates and junior developers entering the tech industry, as well as software developers and career switchers aiming to progress in development roles.
