> How to match "interview kind" to candidate? maybe ask them which they prefer, I guess?

I don't think it's a matter of candidate preference but rather position need.

Some companies need Computer Science / Engineer mindset to solve complex problems. Some companies need XYZ framework developers to deliver customer projects. FAANG companies usually need the Engineering role and developed an interview model to select those.

The problem is when companies that need developers apply the same interview mindset that Google does.
