Lately I have been interviewing for some positions in India, and since I am in the US, I just let them use an IDE or what ever editor they feel like and try to work on the problem together. I have had some rough bumps so far, hoping that might work out. Soon we will be hiring some interns, and again will be interviewing them as well. So just need to work out the logistics so we do not do a white board problem. I am not so much looking for them to come up with the right solution, but can they work well with me and can they break the problem down. Bonus points if they know about TDD or at least try to test the code while we are working on it.
