It's certainly not something I use much in actual programming. Yeah, basically it's a signal that they probably don't understand a bunch of other stuff, either, if they can't handle basic recursion. The way I ask about recursion in interviews is to ask a candidate to solve a certain problem using recursion, then convert their solution to use iteration, and then to explain the pros and cons of each solution. This gives me a large amount of insight to where they're at as a developer and also their approach to problem solving and the factors they consider, and usually does so in a very short amount of time. Much better than just giving them a bunch of brain teasers or whatever.
