Good insight. As a tech lead I do all those and then more. Also tons of code reviews and also need to understand what the DevOps guys are doing and handle the product guys and their plans.
Sure it's not black and white and every team needs to hold interviews in a way that befits them most. For our team the ideas I described work pretty well and we've been able to pretty much nail it from students to seniors.
I am just advocating that recruiting should not be a one-size-fits-all thing and that the massive prep industry is only focused on a certain type of interview, which is just not always the interview you should be conducting. Give it thought and spend the time to tailor the interview process to your team.
