But interviewing isn't about asking someone technical questions. It's about whether the candidate can get work done. I'll never understand the massive debate about the effectiveness of work-sample tests -- no questions, just "Here is some work. Can you do it?"
I've seen how effective it is. And how many people rebel against it. No idea why. Ego, sometimes. It's unfortunate.
