My current company does a pretty traditional "algorithms on a whiteboard" type interview segment or two, an "object/app modelling" segment, and a "chat with the CTO" segment.

It seems to be effective in the sense that I don't recall anyone getting hired and then quickly fired, and my coworkers are all very smart, capable people.

OTOH, it's ineffective in the sense that we probably need to hire at twice the rate we actually are.

I'm not sure what I'd do to improve the process, honestly. Every approach I've ever seen or thought about has significant disadvantages.
