How top talent teams spot real skill in the AI era

For talent teams hiring across every function, not just engineering.

AI made every application look perfect. So how do you find the people who can actually do the job? CoderPad partnered with hiring analyst firm Kyle & Co to ask 271 talent leaders. Hear what the best early-career hiring teams do differently, and how Lyft puts it into practice.

In 45 minutes, you’ll learn how to

  • Spot where resumes are still making your hiring decisions
  • Set AI rules that make applications worth trusting again
  • Build one exercise that shows who can actually do the job, in any role

The research

What Kyle & Co’s research found

  • 93% say nearly every role now needs technical skills, not just engineering.
  • 87% say judgment matters more than AI tool skills, yet it’s near the bottom of what they screen for.
  • 2x Teams that do watch candidates work are twice as likely to say they out-hire their peers.

Independent research by hiring analyst firm Kyle & Co, sponsored by CoderPad.

Kyle Lagunas

Kyle Lagunas
