There are however people who can fairly easily write graph traversal and recursive code on a whiteboard. I wouldn't mind someone not knowing Dijkstra's well enough to code it from memory, but I'd be leery of someone who struggled with basic recursion, either writing the code or running through it and reasoning about it.
