The best interview strategy for me is to give a short take-home assignment (coworkers go through it in under an hour max.) which is somewhat related to the domain space we are hiring for.

Some solutions are rejected on the spot (bad practices, does not solve the task correctly), other candidates are invited for a technical interview. Some generic questions, then we go through the solution - with emphasis on less than perfect areas. It is quite easy to see when someone is bluffing, and you also see how the person deals with feedback.
