I think it’s easier to compare candidates who might have been interviewed by different people possibly weeks apart if you have a coding challenge… could they solve the problem we gave them, if yes how quickly and how well. Interviewers can write their notes, the session can be recorded and the committee can compare candidates relatively fairly.
Comparing candidates based on how they “vibe” with the interviewer during a pair programming session is a recipe for lawsuits and bad hires.
I’m just speculating here, I don’t have any significant hiring and interviewing experience
