Google Rewrites Tech Recruitment, Plans to Let Software Engineers Use AI Assistants in Job Interviews

Google is piloting AI-assisted software engineering interviews for junior to mid-level roles.

Selected U.S. teams and divisions may allow approved tools like Gemini in some coding rounds.

Interviewers will judge how candidates use AI to understand, debug, optimize, and validate code.

The change could shift hiring toward AI collaboration, code review, and debugging skills.
