So per my original comment, there are lots of indicators of a lack of integrity. Just ask enough questions about someone's life, their values, their ambitions, how they'd respond to various conflict situations, ask them their opinions on just about any issue. If you get unbalanced, dramatic, polarized results, it indicates a lack of integrity, which might crumble altogether given enough incentive, monetary or otherwise. If this approach is too sketchy, or you don't want to miss out on otherwise talented people, use an NDA. I know that might sound a bit bullshit. I guess this is speaking as someone who lacked integrity in the past that feels they can generally recognize it with some precision in others now.

Those aren't the type of people you need to worry about though - it would be the sly ones, and they are hard to know who they are. They are friendly until they don't care to be. I'm unsure if people purposely do this or they just become inspired by the ideas, feel they could do them on their own, and then start - I'm sure there's a mix, though you'll get a mix of honest and dishonest people in the both groups, the ones who are willing to sign the NDA, and those who aren't willing to.
