I really wish we had multiple formats that the candidate could choose from:
1) Whiteboard
2) Review and technical discussion of existing code or projects
3) Paid take-home project
4) Pair programming on live code
5) Technical discussion only for rare cases for those Top Secret/NDA candidates that really can't discuss their past projects but are also time constrained
Some people do actually like to whiteboard. Keeping it around is kind of like legacy support for people who practiced hard to excel in those interviews.
This is pretty much the union of technical interviews that are well-known. If you switch out a technical interview format and can't get meaningful insights into a candidate, you're testing for the wrong things.
