I try my hardest to design practical interviews when hiring. It takes time, but the results are worth it. For example, if you're an Ops style person, you would be SSHing onto a server or troubleshooting a configuration management system. Platforms like Woven do this automatically, but they miss the mark. A good half (if not more) of the value is observing the candidate working through the problem and responding to collaborative feedback, not in actually solving the technical issue in question.
