Whiteboard interviews, a traditional method for assessing programmers' skills under pressure, are criticized for creating a stressful and unrealistic environment that can undermine candidates' confidence and lead to suboptimal hiring decisions. The article argues that this outdated practice often sets candidates up for failure by requiring them to solve problems on the spot without access to resources they would typically use, such as Stack Overflow or Google, and highlights the substantial time and financial costs for companies. To address these issues, the authors propose an alternative approach through their platform, CodeChalleng.es, which allows candidates to complete coding exercises remotely in a more comfortable setting with access to their usual resources. This approach not only provides a more accurate assessment of a candidate's abilities but also streamlines the hiring process by allowing for remote review of code submissions, followed by a face-to-face interview focused on the candidate's problem-solving strategies and technical reasoning. The ultimate goal is to make programming roles more accessible and to fill positions more efficiently by shifting away from the traditional whiteboard interview model.
