Manage episode 482732103 series 3448123
This episode is WILD.
We sit down with Mike Mroczka—author, ex-Googler, ex-Salesforce employee, and interview coach—to talk about the growing epidemic of AI-assisted cheating in technical interviews. We're not talking theory—this is what’s actually happening in the trenches.
Mike breaks down:
- Why AI makes it easier than ever to fake your way into a six-figure job
- How companies can design smarter, cheat-proof interview systems
- What red flags recruiters should NEVER ignore
- Why some coaching is helpful—and when it crosses into gray zones
💡 If you’re hiring in tech or interviewing for a tech role, this conversation is non-negotiable. It’s time to outsmart the system—without compromising integrity.
