a problem of their own creation--AI startup used AI to blindly filter 10k applicants down to 200 candidates, 10 made it to the final round, and 1 passed when they wanted to hire 5

Reddit post on cscareerquestions:
We hired 1 intern out of 10K applicants
I work for a prominent growing AI startup that most people have heard of. I need to share something that blew my mind from our recent internship hiring round. Our goal was to hire 5 AI engineering and data science interns for the summer.

We got freaking 10,000 applications for our summer internship program. TEN THOUSAND. After screening all that mess (using some AI tool I admit to sort / filter) we narrowed it down to around 200 people who seemed qualified enough for take-home coding challenges.

Want to know the crazy part? Out of those 200 challenges, barely 10 people made it to the final interview round. And we ended up making just ONE offer when we wanted to hire 5 people.

What was the dealbreaker? Almost nobody could explain their own damn code when we asked them about it. Like 99% of these candidates just vibe coded their way through the take-home challenge (let's be real - they used AI) without understanding what the hell they were submitting. I literally asked one candidate why they used a certain Python package and they had no idea what it did.

On the on-site, we had to reject 9/10 candidates. Most of them when they got to the onsite just couldn't pass the bar.

Part of the reason why we hired the one candidate that passed was because he showed some honesty. A few people in the hiring panel said that the candidate admitted that he had seen one or two of the questions on LeetCode / Interview Query. So they apparently asked him a different question and he was thoughtful about explaining the solution even though he missed getting one of them 100% right.

So here's my PSA to anyone applying for tech jobs: Use AI all you want, but make sure you actually understand the code you're submitting. If you can't explain your approach or debug issues without AI holding your hand, you're gonna crash and burn in any decent technical interview.
