I've been recruiting a lot over the past 8 years. First as a manager, later as an engineering department leader, and most recently in the role of a specialize recruiter.
I've seen a few things change.
The interviews themselves are for the most part unchanged. Occasionally I see someone who seems to be using AI during the interview. It's sort of obvious. They fist give a vague answer. It's as if they repeat the question. Then they answer while not maintaining eye contact. When asked a followup or a "why" question, they fall apart. They do poorly.
I find more people pass the written screen nowadays and then bomb the interview. I'm guessing they use AI. C'est la vie.
It seems that a lot more people are looking for work now than 3+ years ago. It seems that for roles that require top-notch coding ability, there are relatively few people on the market. Im guessing that great people are staying at their jobs longer now. Makes sense.
After a candidate gives an answer, probe. Ask why they think that. Ask what alternatives they might consider. Watch their body language and how quickly they answer.
For context, I hire very experienced developers in Poland for very demanding remote roles in the US.
