But this is all negative. What do you do in an interview to predict how effective they'll really be?

I don't think anyone is especially fond of judging candidates by using riddles, trivia questions, and unrealistic tasks, but the constraints of the interview process rule out a lengthy and thorough assessment.

There are hundreds of companies that don't use algorithmic interviews, they are neither necessary nor particularly useful.
