Peer coding, coding tests and anything else you can do to evaluate actual technical skills. At the "small team" level, most leaders still drive their teams simply by being better developers that the other guys. Interpersonal, leadership and operational skills only become critical at higher levels (they are of course great to have at all levels if you are lucky).
