> What if you consider part of someone's job to be communicating concepts to people, possibly with the help of visual aids and diagrams?
Perhaps it would be more effective to have the candidate whiteboard a concept that they are already familiar with, be it a high-level engineering principle or a system/solution they have built in the past. Attempting to solve a problem you have just been presented with AND communicating the solution effectively is a big ask.
