What a BS article. As they say, just do the interview in person. Problem solved. Not sure about the US but 99% of jobs here in Spain are hybrid or onsite ("presencial"), not fully remote.
They're acting like all jobs are remote and it's impossible to do an interview in person.
Also, does it really matter? If a person is good at using AI and manages to be good at creating code with that, is it really so much worse than a person that does it from the top of their head? I think we have to drop the idea that AI is going to go away. I know it's all overhyped right now but there is definitely something to it. I think it will be another tool in our toolboxes. Just like stackoverflow has been for ages (and that didn't kill interviews either).
Our US mega corp is having us hire all remote contractors, in person is completely out of the question.
Costs money (travel) and time (company's) plus a lot of this is outsourced to agencies to do the screening.
Yes, it is disgusting. Sadly also very common.
Ah weird, here in Europe if you apply for a job in another city or country they won't fly you out there. You can come on your own dime and usually you wouldn't even tell them you don't live there yet (after all if you don't even live there, why would they bother with you, it's only extra hassle for them when you start). Probably C-suite roles are an exception to this. But they're an exception to pretty much everything. Roles with particular foreign languages (e.g. support) too but this is also an edge case.
Moving personnel between countries when they are already working for the company does happen. They did it for me. But at that point they already know what they have.
