There is. Take a set of realistic, representative tasks from your day to day work, decouple it from the context as much as possible to limit the need company specific services, software or knowledge while performing the task.

There's a few reasons this is rare:

* Setting up a test like this requires prep work, whereas a chat, recycling old tests and downloading questions from the internet does not.

* It's rare for hirers to evaluate or be evaluated on their own hiring process.

* Lots of developers want to cargo cult Google's hiring process so they ask you to whiteboard algorithms.
