Graduate recruitment looks like it is becoming an AI literacy test.
The old filter was closed-book horsepower. Could you do the math in your head? Could you structure the case study from scratch?
Now the filter is how someone works with AI assistance: framing the problem, checking the output, pushing back when it smells wrong, then landing a view they can own.
The paradox of the modern entry-level job: The technical barriers to entry have never been lower, but the cognitive bar for adding value has never been higher.
If you can only do what the AI can do, you are not a junior employee. You are an API call.
