I mentioned this in a different related post but there seems to be a pretty sad lack of basic integrity in the tech world where it's become a point of pride to develop and use apps which allow an applicant to blatantly cheat during interviews using LLMs.
As a result, several of my friends who assist in hiring at their companies have already returned to "on-site" interviews. The funny thing about this is that these are 100% remote jobs - but the interviews are being conducted at shared workspaces. This is what happens when the level of trust goes down to zero due to bad actors.
The crushingly long and disrespectful interview process cut the bridge off first. If the job market becomes a problem of scale, people (especially programmers) will scale up as such. As the interviewers have with ATC.
Largely past COVID it seems like sheer laziness or cheapness not to conduct in-person interviews for a professional job other than a short-term project after essentially an initial screen for all sorts of reasons that have little to do with cheating. I don’t care if the job is largely remote.
As someone else noted, this used to be utterly standard. And frankly I’d probably just pass on someone who balked. Plenty of fish in the sea.
