It's often the hardest part because many people think they can hit the ground running after following a Udemy programming course.
Engineers are expensive to start with and inexperienced/over-confident engineers even more so due to the potential damage on the product.
Tough interview stages like leetcode are a simple method HR can employ to establish a baseline competence.
Personally I have zero interest in grinding for months solving riddles and when interviewing I always check what the stages involved are. On numerous occasions leetcode has been dropped upon request - no harm in asking!
