The company I work for does code challenges when interviewing. We also accept code samples from GitHub or something like that. The idea is to talk about your code and the challenges you had creating it.

I think you might not have seen many other professional hiring processes if you think spending a few hours doing an coding challenge is out of the question. Most professional occupation hiring practices are long and drawn out. That is part of what being a professional means.

That said, our hiring process leaves a lot to be desired and there aren't really great ways to determine if someone really had the skills they claim on their resumes.
