Yup. We did a couple phone screens. Person we interviewed knocked it out of the park. Solid answers with historical background on it, we liked the way they solved problems. Most of the team was part of the interview process. The new person started and we realized the person that came in had no more information on what/how we had talked about in the interviews than we did. What was done easily over a screen share was well outside of what this person was capable of. In the interview, solid yanking/putting in VIM - in person, unable to save/close, for example. He was present -- we did wonder if the recruiter we worked with had a paperwork mistake, so asked a few bits about our interview and while he could parrot bits of the answer and our discussion, he could not come close to actually hitting the why or next steps like he did in the interview. That was the point where a camera was required for the interview, for us.
