We think this is the fairest way to evaluate candidates. I had one standout interview that was very gotcha centric. I didn't think the way the interview was conducted was fair or respectful of my time. I also don't think it did a good job of assessing how well or how poorly I would have done in the job. It seems indicative of poor management. I think it's very important as managers that we respect people and their time, always. This feels like as fair of a way as we've come up with so far to do that. We do two technical exercises, diagramming being one of them. We've had really great results and it takes ~1 hour. That seems fair.
