We recently interviewed some candidates and got them to complete an initial DevSkiller test. In the interview I asked each what tools they used to complete the DevSkiller test. All admitted to using ChatGPT or Copilot to complete the test. So now DevSkiller is really just a litmus test to determine whether they can be bothered completing the test in order to get interviewed.


Sounds like it's not only whether they can be bothered to do DevSkiller, but whether they're not turned off by your company asking them to use DevSkiller.

So it's a hiring filter that only passes cheaters who have low standards.
