I think the best way to hire is to hire optimistically, without forcing ridiculous trivia questions or memorizing algorithms.

Then give up to 3 months of mentorship. If the person doesn’t look like they meet expectations, then fire her quickly. Give them the remaining time up to 3 months as severance.

This is the best way to do it because you're not subjecting people to bad interviews, and you're giving them up to 3 months severance if it doesn't work out.
