🔥 What happened
HackerRank launched Chakra, an AI interviewer that watches candidates work, asks follow-ups, and scores their reasoning, not just answers. After six months in beta with 500,000+ interviews, it's generally available Monday.
💡 Why it matters
Chakra collapses three hiring rounds into one AI interview. Surprise: suspicious-activity flags dropped 70–80% versus traditional assessments, since candidates can use AI openly instead of cheating covertly.
⚡ Our take
HackerRank is cannibalizing its own coding-test empire — bold or desperate. If AI interviews candidates, who audits the AI that decides who gets hired?
