Interviewing is mentioned. I'm currently doing a lot of that and I agree it's challenging to assess engineering skill. We currently use a fairly simple coding challenge that shouldn't be a problem for anyone with some experience. We basically pair program with them for an hour or 90 minutes (remotely for now) to see how they work through problems and write code. It has been pretty successful so far.
