Humans in the Loop: Hiring Software Engineers in the AI Era
summary
Livefront claims years of hiring data and shows concrete practices: screening through 500 applications in six hours, using a compensated modest code challenge that reviewers treat as ship‑ready and return with written feedback, and probing how candidates move from chatbot to co‑pilot to agent in real workflows. Expect concrete evaluation of judgment (architectural tradeoffs, risk tolerance), communication (explaining choices), and whether submitted code actually runs, is testable, and scales beyond the prototype.
