About AI Lit Hire

We are a small team of engineers building fair, AI-allowed coding interviews for modern engineering teams.

We built this for skeptical engineering leaders who want a cleaner signal than whiteboard theater, banned tools, or marathon take-homes can provide.

Why we started

Hiring changed. Most interviews did not.

We were frustrated by interview loops that tested memorization under pressure instead of how engineers actually ship software now.

Whiteboard puzzles over-index on performance.

They rarely show how someone debugs, scopes tradeoffs, or collaborates under realistic constraints.

Four-hour take-homes are expensive for everyone.

They burn candidate time, stretch recruiting cycles, and still miss the live decision-making you care about.

Banning AI tools tests a fake environment.

Strong engineers already use Claude, GPT, and Copilot at work. Interviews should reflect that reality.

Hiring still leans too hard on gut feel.

We wanted a tighter loop where evidence, not charisma or noisy notes, carries more of the decision.

What we believe

Simple principles, enforced by the product.

01

Real work over puzzles

Interview tasks should look and feel like the job, not like a performance optimized for trivia recall.

02

AI is an amplifier, not a cheat code

Great candidates still need judgment, debugging skill, and the ability to steer the model instead of hiding behind it.

03

Data beats gut feel

Hiring gets sharper when teams review concrete behavior, code quality, and tool usage instead of relying on a vibe check.

Why teams reach out

Built with feedback from skeptical engineering leaders trying to modernize hiring without lowering standards.

If you are rethinking take-homes, AI bans, or inconsistent technical screens, we can show you the interview loop in 15 minutes.
