The latest corporate genius idea? Ban AI by banning remote interviews.
Every day I use AI as a leader—
to structure my thinking, explore alternatives, and speed up work.\
If your interview can be passed by copy-pasting ChatGPT answers-
the problem isn't remote interviews.
It's your broken interview process.
You're filtering for the wrong skills.
Let's be honest:
Sitting in a fluorescent-lit office doesn't reveal real skills.
Banning AI won't stop people from gaming the system.
Forcing people to commute just screams: "we don't trust you."
Here's the irony:
Companies brag about using AI to cut costs and boost efficiency.
But if a candidate uses it to prepare or perform?
Suddenly it's "cheating."
The future of work isn't about avoiding AI.
It's about knowing how to use it well.
Instead of banning tools, design interviews that AI can't fake:
Real problem-solving.
Judgment calls.
Collaboration.
Cultural alignment.
Because the best candidates?
They won't waste their time with companies stuck in the past.
Shouldn't we be testing how candidates use AI instead of how they hide it?
