Maybe other people choose something so ridiculously abstract and difficult, but the way we do it at Thought Sauce it is always a very simple problem.
We make it clear that we care more about your approach than the code. We even kind of pair program on the board.
We don't make anyone feel stupid, and it works.
If it's a good fit we follow up with a day coding with the team (paid of course) and then make an offer.
