I’ve also done 100s of interviews, mostly for mid-senior positions and generally cv-reading and a non-quiz intro interview talking about various technologies and experiences work great. That said, I disagree about lack of any exercises. I think practical but not too time-consuming take-home assignments are nice and not too annoying (as long as they’re not the first step! That would be wasting candidates’ time.), and I’ve rejected tons of candidates based on the results of those, which is different to the author’s experience. Overall, I recommend people to really think about who they’re looking for, and heavily adjust their process to that. There’s no silver bullet, and the right process will vary greatly depending both on the seniority and the skillset you’re looking for.
