Just on resume? Are you aware how easy and common it is for candidates to lie on the resume?

> If you care about seeing their code ask them for a sample.

Same as above. Most candidates can't share code sample from their current/previous employer. For open source projects, it is again very easy to fake authorship.

Ask them a few probing questions about some of the technology and experiences listed. It's not too hard to pierce a veneer of bullshit.

And does anyone check references anymore?

If you can't figure out a candidate lied on their resume in a half hour conversation, you aren't going to figure it out in a four hour conversation either

More data absolutely helps, many people can fake it for an hour but not for 5. Work doesn't end after the first hour, so if they can't keep it up for less than a full day they wouldn't be able to during the real work either.
