I get a really good insight in the candidate's programming skills by pair-programming a simple problem with them.
For TDD, I write a test and ask him / her to write the code to make it pass (then repeat, refactor).
That way, I can see how fluent they are in the programming language, at the same time evaluate their problem solving skills and see how they work in a team.
