I create a sample project based on real world coding problems we face everyday. The actual class is a skeleton with non working methods and comments describing what the methods should do.

I then have another test class with simple failing unit tests. They have to write the code to make the tests pass.

Then I give them more complicated failing unit tests that they also have to make pass without causing the first set of test fail.

We do pair coding and they can ask me any business question they have if they don't understand a requirement.

They can use Google if they need to during coding.

Thanks, that sounds like a good way to screen someone.
