I'm starting to feel like we're self-organizing a bit into types of companies based on our interviewing styles.
There are developers who excel at whiteboarding. There are those who excel at presenting their own projects from their github experience. There are yet others that excel in small code samples on company-driven problems, and some that excel in larger code samples.
The truth is that no one interviewing style works best for finding all developers that are a match for the company. Either we need to accommodate multiple interviewing practices, or we need to accept that we are going to gather in the companies that match our interviewing styles the best.
I wonder sometimes if there isn't room for a company that hires everyone who can fizzbuzz and is a good fit for the company as determined by behavioral interviews, and then accept a large attrition within the first 3 months.
I think the honest truth is that no matter what we do, interviewing is a hard problem.
