This! I can't believe how many people are ditching the coding interviews here. You're guaranteed to hire a few lemons if you don't do them. The inability to write simple routines in a language you claim to be familiar with is a NO HIRE. Be it at a whiteboard (its not like one cares about syntax errors) or at a PC/laptop. Unless you accidentally have in-depth knowledge of the exact work an interviewee did in his last job, assessing their skill in what they did can be very difficult.
