Pair Programming for a job interview
Our company has been thinking about scrapping our interview procedures and bring each candidate in for a 4-5 hours sit with some of the programmers and just do some pair programming. 

I like the idea in Theory but I am not sure how you can really make fair for each candidate. How would you rate them? Wouldn't there input really depend on what each programmer was working on that day?

Any thoughts good idea/bad idea or how to make it work is what I am kind of looking for here.

Cheers
