I have some questions: How does measurement of leadership happening in those interviews? How is measurement of explaining hard terminology and principles in easier terms is measured? How is a reliability as the team member measured?

For the first-you can't asses leadership ability just out of the blue since each company has different set of values and approaches there. (For example Army vs Google leadership styles)

For the second-you need some 3rd person who has relatively low understanding of the field you testing person for, then you need to ask candidate to explain something to that person and then ask the 3rd person to tell you what did they learn or understood from this conversation. So far I see no other way about it, if you have better ideas, please share.

And third, well only time can show such attribute as reliability as a team players. There is way too many thing could go wrong in chemistry between team and the candidate.
