This is why I really go out of my way to try and dissipate the anxiety as much possible. And because I feel anxiety myself when I interview people, so I remember that we may share that perspective and we'd both have a better conversation if we could relax a bit. My interviews therefore end up being conversational, and definitely non-confrontational. I want to hire someone who the team will get along with, who knows what they are doing, but in the end I have to remember that if we hire them I'd prefer we didn't start off our relationship with an over-the-top technical interview. So far I've been successful at finding good candidates this way. Maybe it's just luck. But I don't think leetcode interviewing is the only way to get well-qualified employees.
