The technical interview stage is a tiny bit too late for wondering if the candidate can write a simple loop.

Before you do a technical interview, you send them a website and ask them to write that FizzBuzz equivalent for you, or if you want to be seen to be nice, schedule a 30 minute interview with them and ask the FizzBuzz thing.

It doesn't have to be asked during the full technical interview stage.

Again, I see zero value in those silly tests so I won't force them on anyone, at any stage of the process. That would be a waste of everyone's time.

Why would you do fizzbuzz in a technical interview and not have them talk through it in the first 15 minute phone screen?

[johncoltrane]

Not even one minute. Those things are worthless.

Oh sorry, didn’t realize.
