We do one design interview, and one programming interview (out of 5 total). Candidates are encouraged to use the whiteboard if it helps them explain their thinking, but the whiteboard is just a tool.
So "design" will concentrate on architectural decisions, whereas "programming" will concentrate on things like algorithms and data structures.
The other 3 interviews are all about behavioral questions, not programming ones.

Hi Patrick.
What do you use instead of the white board interview to make sure the candidate is right for the position?
Thanks,
Anders
