Yes, You Can Use AI in Our Interviews. In fact, we insist

Canva has redesigned their technical interviews to require candidates to use AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, and Claude. The company moved away from traditional algorithm-focused interviews after recognizing that nearly half their engineers use AI daily. Instead of trying to detect AI usage, they embrace transparency and evaluate how well candidates collaborate with AI to solve complex, ambiguous problems. The new format assesses skills like breaking down requirements, making technical decisions with AI assistance, and critically reviewing AI-generated code. Early results show the approach provides better predictive signals about candidate performance while reflecting the reality of modern software development.
