Can’t you just review their code samples?

The organization of their code tells way more about their skills, than some stupid L33T coding problem that they must solve in 5 minutes.

This would definitely give you more and better information — if you could know that the samples were definitively from the candidate.

I’ve interviewed candidates who were clearly not the person on the phone screen, for example.
