Osvald Nitski, the Head of Product at Mercor, announced that the AI-driven hiring platform is swapping out take-home projects that AI tools can easily solve for classic whiteboard-style interviews. Nitski emphasized that the company prioritizes strong judgment, statistical literacy, and the ability to design effective experiments. It is worth noting that whiteboard interviews were previously a standard practice at major technology firms such as Meta and Google.
