I've been a proponent of the code-to-hire process for at least a decade.

There are for sure some challenges (some legal, some technical) but those replace other challenges that I think are less effective.

Interviews are pretty low value for skill-set - mostly for personality.

GitHub and SocialMedia spying don't reveal much about the Person-at-Work.

So, currently we find a nice candidate, brief interview for personality/communication then code test them. And I pay for the time too - but that value is capped for tax/paperwork reasons.
