My fav way of interviewing and being interviewed is a quick assignment (nothing major like some companies want you to build an api, crud UI to drive it and then push it out to heroku for them to look at) - either at home or just leave the candidate alone in the conf room for an hour. After that if they pass - few questions about their code, maybe drill down into some areas depending on the answers etc. Alternatively, if someone has a project on their github profile using the tech you're looking for - few questions about that project can typically give you a go/no-go right away.
