It's really not an either/or situation. Hiring could improve obviously but the current process of generic white board problems is effective if imperfect.
It's just really hard to decipher one's ability when everyone puts technical experience on their resume because they took an online class or read a book on some thing once.

I don't think it's a perfect process but it weeds out fakers/resume padders. Also a lot of companies arent looking for specialists but want broad skills to handle a variety of problems cause the problems 5 years from now could be very different for the company.
