I'd recommend dropping the full day onsite. I mean what the hell do you talk about for a full day? The small talk must be unbearable after the first 30 minutes.

So you want a company to hire somebody after talking them for 30 minutes? Based off of what? You honestly can't imagine talking about technical software problems for more than 30 minutes? That's a pretty big red flag to me.

I'm assuming you are technical yourself, otherwise please disregard. What you are unintentionally implying is that you can't spot a fraud by talking to them about your chosen profession within 30 minutes. If you can't, you shouldn't be doing the interviewing. If you can, why waste 5.5 hours of the company's time per candidate?

Plenty of people are great talkers about profession, big picture, architecture blabble and so on. It does not correlate with coding ability.
