Even better if they have both, worked on open-source projects or have created useful open-source software used by other companies and are already working in their other job(s) or have personal real-world projects they can point to; which those are clear advantages and a simple quick filter to use.
No need to ask about frivolous leetcode questions around re-implementing sorting algorithms or wasting more time asking the candidate to write proofs for those algorithms where realistically you're going to just import it from a library or look up the solution on StackOverflow.
Unless you're Google, a FAAMNG company, university or general research related position or if the position isn't for a typical CRUD application development, then there is little to no justification for wasting everyone's time on pointless leet-code puzzles and this applies to the majority of companies.
