I ask difficult interview questions and require actual code to be written on the spot. If the questions can't be answered I let everyone know it. The viability of firing under-performing people is zero. Managers just want headcount and don't care about ability. They play the political game not the build-and-ship-software game.
Are there cost implications? I should think so since the fakers cost lots of money and are not producing any software.

However, I have completely bombed on "difficult interview questions" and "code to be written" - merely due to the pressures felt in the interview(s). As said elsewhere, identifying the "fakers" is extremely difficult - perhaps that's why people who were referred tend[0] to be more successful? (But how do people outside get in?)
