Hi, using a throwaway for obvious reasons. I'm currently in a situation where I'll have to both create a hiring process to hire a couple of programmers at a startup where I'm working at, but at the same time I'm also starting to think about looking around and start sending out job applications.

Since it's been a while from my last job interview I'm wondering how companies are hiring programmers nowadays. Do they still require leetcode exercises? What about take-home exercises? Or is it all done in real time during a call?

My last interviews all had a take-home project that I had to do (some paid and some not), is that still the case? I'd guess that with agents that changed a lot since someone could just have Claude doing all the work and submit it back.

I want to both create a process that is fair and worth the time on both the parts, but also want to know what other companies are doing in order to start preparing if I'll get lucky and move to the next interviewing steps.

How is it at your company or in your [recent] experience?
