Surely, though, it's easier to just do a coding problem in the evening? No worries about coming up with a lie for your employer, no possibility of suspicion, and some people have to take sick days out of their vacation time sadly.

Some people are tired and not at their best after a full day of coding.

I talk to the applicant and try to work something out. I interview weekends and evenings if that's what they want. First interviews are always on the phone. Eventually, they have to come in, but by then, we are pretty sure it isn't a waste of time.

Especially if their day job sucks, which is one reason people look for new jobs.

Not too long ago I was at a job where management demanded 11½ days. Guess how well the team members could handle an interview at 8pm.

I can't code shit in the evening after work. Some times I take vacation days, intending on doing nothing other than working on personal projects during daylight hours.
