And I always say that the question is flawed. People focus so much on hiring, but hiring doesn't matter to me. It's about knowing when to fire. Jobs, these days, are so versatile. It's impossible to know if somebody will fit in with the culture and interests of your company within a couple interviews.
Besides, anybody can fake it for a couple interviews. My advice. Hire people who seem competent. Don't worry or pull your hair out over hiring. Then, after a bit, see how they fit in at the job and if they're incompetent, fire them. If they're great, then keep them around. It's as simple as that.
You'll be surprised at how much easier your life will be. You just can't be afraid of firing people every once in a while.
Also, sometimes hire a wild card. If somebody feels right for a role but they don't have the perfect resume, give them a shot. Not only will they appreciate your act of generosity, they may surprise the heck out of you.
