AI belongs in the interview
Access is not the compromise. Uncritical use is the risk.
Modern engineers use AI. The useful signal is whether they can direct it, question it, verify it, and take responsibility for what ships.
- Direct AI with clear constraints
- Catch incorrect or incomplete output
- Challenge assumptions and tradeoffs
- Verify generated work with evidence
- Decide what is safe to ship

Questions hiring teams ask
How DevEval fits your process, what candidates experience, and what your team controls.
What is DevEval?
DevEval offers async interviews and live interviews, with clear rules for AI. Async interviews are focused technical assessments candidates complete independently. Live interviews bring candidates together with an engineer from your team. Your team reviews the work and makes the hiring decision.
Do candidates need to complete both interview formats?
No. Start with the format your role needs. Use an async interview when an independent work sample helps you decide who to meet, or start directly with a live interview. Add a follow-up only when it answers a specific remaining question.
What does DevEval assess?
Practical engineering work, not memorized answers: coding through executable submissions and tests, and how candidates direct AI, catch incorrect or incomplete output, verify generated work, and take responsibility for what they release.
Can candidates use AI during an assessment?
Yes, when AI use is enabled for the assessment. Review how candidates use its suggestions, test the output, and explain their choices.
What does the hiring team receive?
An evidence packet: a reviewable bundle of code, tests, prompts, replay, integrity events, score rationale, and reviewer notes, plus focused follow-up prompts for a live interview. Replay and integrations depend on your workflow and plan.
Does DevEval make the hiring decision?
No. DevEval helps your team review the work. Your team decides who advances and communicates the outcome.
