I am not sure if it’s Claude-specific, probably not but I rarely use other models so I wouldn’t know yet. Also the vast majority of candidates used Claude to polish their writing.
I think it was a mistake to allow LLMs for writing. The thinking was that it is hard to prevent this so we should rather ask people to disclose how they used LLMs. If I would write instructions for that stage again I would include something like “don’t use LLMs for writing, it dillutes your original thoughts with slop language and it also doesn’t give you any benefit because your responses will look like the responses of 50 other candidates”
Regarding LLMs for rephrasing into my preferred style, that is an interesting idea that I haven’t tried. I would be somewhat concerned that I now read the candidates prompts filtered through two LLMs instead of just one, which again removes a little bit of signal, but potentially this would not result in meaningful changes to the final scores and make it quicker.
