When I was working as a CTO and interviewing people I have never ever asked for a side project or a technical test, I sat down with that person having a conversation for as long as necessary in order to see how this person analyses and solves subtly presented problems.

I can teach you how to code this and that but I cannot teach you how to think with logic, pragmatism and identifying the levels of abstraction for each solution.

Search for people that can solve essential complexity.
