Beyond Leetcode: Reimagining Technical Interviews

We explore Skyward IT Solutions' approach to technical interviews for software engineers in the age of AI. Moving beyond traditional Leetcode-style puzzles, we discuss how modern technical assessments can better reflect real-world engineering work. Chavdar, our Director of AI Innovation, shares how we've redesigned our interview process to evaluate candidates based on their ability to build actual projects, leverage resources like documentation and AI tools, and demonstrate practical problem-solving skills. This episode offers valuable perspectives for both job seekers preparing for technical interviews and organizations looking to modernize their hiring practices to identify truly effective talent in today's AI-augmented development environment.
