The interview process is a two way street, and a good onsite will include time for an applicant to talk to a manager at the company which will give you time to determine if that manager is competent, as well as a good fit.

Furthermore the interview test "FizzBuzz" was announced back in 2007, yet there are applicants who claim they can program but still fail such a basic test. (Failure modes include the applicant thinking they are "too good to take the test" and refusing to trivially demonstrate they are able to code. Choose your reaction carefully.)

The candidate is never allowed to see how manager solves technical puzzles.
