This is focused on finding technically skilled engineers, but I think you can get a more wholistic (holistic?) view of the person by asking them to walk you through their work history, project by project, and call a subset of the people they’ve worked with. It’s more conversational, and you don’t have to live in hypotheticals. We all know that skilled engineers will learn whatever skills they need to on the job, so less and less am I interested in what they can do in the interview pressure cooker.
