At my company, we ask everyone in the hiring process about how they have used any kind of agentic coding tools.
We're not concerned about hiring for the 'skill' of using these things, but more as a culture check - we are a very AI-forward company, and we are looking for people who are excited to incorporate AI into their workflow. The best evidence for such excitement is when they have already adopted these tools.
Among the team, the expectation is that most code is being produced with AI, but there is no micromanager checking how much everyone is using the AI coding tools.
