> Yes, ask give interview tasks which are realistic depictions of the actual job tasks.

I think this is exactly what a lot of companies try to do when interviewing. Depending on how much time they want candidates and interviewers to spend on the task, this ranges from leetcode-style problems to bigger coding challenges (possibly with some debugging or collaboration involved).

What would you suggest concretely?

A lot of companies do do it this way but the ones that set leetcode problems are deliberately avoiding setting realistic interview tasks.

If you think leetcode is representative of real life programming you're probably a college student.
