This looks very interesting. I have been through a lot of interviews in the past, with small and large companies and now being in charge of hiring developers I try to make the experience as friendly and as efficient as possible. I hate white-board coding interviews because of the pressure of doing it in front of a stranger, and I choose not to have that in our company. But I do ask technical questions related to the job and I give as much time as the candidate needs to complete a very simple coding test ( fizzbuzz type ) on his/her own in a private office free of distractions and other people.

Unfortunately there are people with amazing cv's who can't solve simple problems or who can't explain what they have done in previous projects.

Interviewing is hard and there are a lot of biases at play but it needs to be done.
