I'm honestly surprised by the amount of people complaining about the interviewing process. First of all, have in mind that the interviewer should have some kind of an objective measure, you need to judge all candidates the same way. There are many great developers who don't work outside of their job, so GitHub is out of the question. LinkedIn is self kept and doesn't really show your skills, just your CV. Reaching high levels in HackerRank takes a lot more time than the interviews probably, and you still have no objective way to judge candidates.

And this is where interviews or coding problems come. They allow the interviewer to judge your ability to code and compare it to other candidates. And, probably even more importantly, your social skills, which in a team or in a relatively small company are essential.

But... Why go through all this? Other professions don't do it, right! Well, at least in Europe, most other professions aren't even nearly as well paid as even a junior dev.
