HackerRank tests memory.JIA tests engineering.
87% of engineers use AI every day. The only question is whether you evaluate them for it or penalise them for it.
The LeetCode interview is over.
Every major engineering team adopted AI tools between 2022 and 2025. The assessments they use to hire haven't changed since 2015.
The AI-avoidance test tells you nothing useful.
Testing whether candidates can solve problems without AI doesn't predict how they'll perform in a job where everyone uses AI. You're selecting for the wrong skill, then wondering why your hires underperform in their first month.
How they think matters more than whether they got it right.
A candidate who writes O(n) with clear reasoning, explains their approach, and uses AI as a tool is a stronger hire than one who memorised the answer. Pass/fail scores hide the most important signal.
Your hiring bar should reflect your engineering culture.
If your team uses Copilot, Cursor, and Claude every day, your hiring test should too. JIA's Vibe AI gives candidates a built-in AI assistant. Every prompt is logged. You evaluate the thinking, not the prohibition.
What the candidate experiences. What you get back.

HackerRank solves one-seventh of the problem.
A coding test is stage 4 of a 7-stage hiring process. The other six stages still run on Calendly, Google Forms, Slack threads, and Excel. JIA is the only platform that runs all seven.
Switch to JIA if any of these sound familiar.
JIA works best when the problem is bigger than one bad tool. If even one of these describes your hiring process, the $1.00 trial is worth it.
Start $1.00 trialYou've rejected engineers who used AI during assessments, then watched them get hired by your competitors.
Your ATS, interview platform, and assessment tool have never passed data between them without a spreadsheet.
You're paying enterprise pricing for a coding test while your team uses GitHub Copilot for every feature they ship.
Your recruiters copy-paste scores from three different dashboards into a shared doc before each hiring review.
You hired someone who scored 95 on LeetCode but couldn't ship anything in their first three months.
You're running campus drives across 10+ colleges and managing all of it through WhatsApp and Excel.
