I normally ask candidates to build a sample and easy component similar to those we use at work. There are a couple of points in the exercise that I use to understand if the candidate is aware of certain deep implications of the language and/or the framework they are using. If something is not on their CV, I don't test for that, but if something is, I will test for that extensively. I ask questions all through the process. I allow them to look up resources during the interview, but I don't allow AI. This works well and it's really hard to game, especially if the candidate shares their screen or is interviewing in office. I mostly tailor the interview process to minimize false positives and I don't much care about false negatives: these are much riskier and hard to catch, and to be honest allowing them is not a big deal.
