I suppose another question would be- how many technical people want to spend all day screening applicants?
I've been to interviews which were more or less well designed quizzes that could be administered by non technical people, with the answers evaluated by technical people later. That seemed better than the alternative. I do know one interviewer who always uses "what do you think are the three best books on software development?" You get some interesting answers to that one.
