I have seen small programming task presented to candidates at a previous employeer, after I was hired, but that sort of failed. All the candidate actually submitted perfectly good solution and the process just reverted to just talking to each candidate in a relaxing setting.

Edit: I actually once interviewed for a job that required a personality test, because HR need to justify their existance I assume. I will never apply at a company which uses personality tests again. Not only was it wrong, it’s also kinda traumatic. But this was after actually getting the job, the test was sort of a “before we actually sign, please take this test”
