I can't imagine how these candidates would be able to meaningfully contribute to a whiteboard design discussion with real people.

For a previous client, we resorted to a simple in-person pen-and-paper screening questionnaire with 5 very basic questions. Many candidates declined to attend, and most of those that attended failed dismally.

> Does anyone believe that’s how things would go?

Nope.
