This isn’t foolproof either and plenty of people can talk convincingly about running projects that they had little to nothing to do with.


Totally agreed, I've been 'got' in interviews before. Now I ask follow-ups with specifics. If you were an IC, you should know libraries/architectures that were used. If you were in leadership, you should be able to tell me the story leading up to a project, about the parties involved, and the outcomes.

It takes time to do properly, though. And most of the time I just don't care about evaluating someone's capabilities like that.
