Hiring systems for the AI era

Most founders are still hiring engineers like it’s 2024.
AI has changed what “strong” means.

Written by Neil Matthams.
20+ years experience. 500+ technical hires.
32 countries.

Hiring in the AI era is challenging, but Neil makes it much clearer with practical, experience-based insights.
