In this talk, I will share insights from interviews with 20 data science hiring managers at top organizations (e.g., FAANG, finance, startups) on the evolving challenges of hiring in an AI-augmented world. We’ll explore emerging best practices, discuss how to extract real signal from interviews, and offer some tactical strategies to improve data science hiring in 2025 and beyond.
