AI Hiring Scorecard & Interview Kit

A printable rubric, interview plan, agentic coding exercise, and decision worksheet for evaluating AI-native software engineers.

Why it exists

AI engineering interviews need a different bar.

Prompt fluency is not enough. The scorecard focuses the interview on systems judgment, verification habits, production boundaries, and the ability to supervise AI coding agents.

Six pages built for a real interview loop.

Role-Fit Intake

Clarify the outcome, stack, constraints, and seniority bar before interviewing.

Business outcome this hire must improve
Production systems and integrations they will own
AI tooling they must already understand

AI-Native Engineering Scorecard

Score candidates consistently across engineering judgment and agentic AI practice.

Systems judgment: 1 2 3 4 5
Agent workflow design: 1 2 3 4 5
Testing discipline: 1 2 3 4 5

Agentic Coding Interview Plan

Run a structured 45-minute practical interview without turning it into trivia.

5 min: clarify context and constraints
20 min: read code and propose a plan
15 min: implement or critique a narrow change

Human-Verification Checklist

Separate real production judgment from prompt-only fluency.

Can explain failure modes before coding
Runs tests and inspects outputs without prompting
Names data, privacy, and authorization boundaries

Reference Call Prompts

Ask references about the behaviors that matter for AI-native delivery.

Where did they improve delivery reliability?
How did they handle ambiguous requirements?
What did their code review comments reveal?

Hiring Decision Worksheet

Turn interview notes into a clear hire, hold, or pass decision.

Strongest evidence for hire
Largest delivery risk
Verification plan for first 30 days
