There are some very solid alternatives to this current system, which lets face it some of things that they make you do in an interview are borderline ridiculous and its a matter of lucj more than anything else. For the technical part, I would as screening value forms of unforgeable proof of technical competence, such as Github profiles, meaningful open source contributions, stackoverflow contributions. Next for the technical part, a homework assignment. Homework is much more close to the real world experience: get a task and would you have to figure it out. Then the technical interview would be to explain the homework. There the only goal is really to confirm that the person did the homework themselves rather than anything else. For the behavioral part, a full battery of psychological tests, to weed out psychopathic traits mostly. There are alternatives, the current interviewing system is not a good solution.
