Here's how it feels for me:

* Learning stage: 0.5x - 1x. I change my system prompt to teacher mode, taking the productivity hit for actually learning the system/tool pays off dividends later. I change my system prompt to "teacher mode" and slowly loosen it as I get more confident.

* Working-knowledge: 2x - 3x. Once I am ramped up enough I feel like I can get a decent productivity boost. Most of the time is spent at the planning stage. This is my mode for areas I don't really own or care about, just need to get work done.

* Mastered: 10x+ I have been doing web front end for 12+ years, I can quickly review plan/implementations and for my initial prompt I already know most of what I want built.

1x == my speed before AI

I think the best would be to offer the candidate options. Let them come in for the culture fit portion of the interview, at the end present them a problem and let them choose if they prefer white boarding, pair programming, or take home and submit by the end of the day.
