I think the best hiring process would give the candidate options. Choose among pair-programming a live coding challenge or a new feature creation, whiteboard, take-home coding challenges, or going through some open-source project from the candidate. I happen to prefer take-home challenges more than any of the alternatives. It’s much less stressful than any live assessment. And I have the time. But I understand people that hate it. You evaluate the candidate how they think they are best evaluated. And I don’t think it is that much more trouble or time investment by the company.
