Yeah, agree with a lot of this. I've tried pretty hard to take the feedback I've seen on Hacker News and improve the hiring process for Data Scientists at my job–in particular, we make hire/no hire decisions based primarily on take-home assessments that are heavily based on our real work, have standardized our interview questions, invest time in answering applicants' questions early in the process, and try to minimize the number of onsite interviews. It's a bit challenging–no matter what you do, someone is going to be unhappy with your interview process–but it seems to work much better than the default of asking a bunch of algorithmic questions on a whiteboard.
