If you think this might be great for your hiring process, think about the questions you ask. In some cases it might be that you ask questions that hardly show candidates knowledge.
For instance, average and worst case complexity of various algos (usually sorting). This is kind of a question you might want a call/gooogle and I believe is common one. But I don't think it does make any difference in real-world practice whether you know (and can recall in a stressful situation) what is quick sort's worst case complexity and in what case it happens. If I need that, I will google it and find it less than 5mins. Obviously, awareness of worst-case is necessary but not memorizing for each algorithm.
