Perhaps judging them on previous projects or open source work they have contributed to would be a better approach.
The problem with this - ignoring the open source part for a second - is that it is very hard to accurately judge someone's contributions to a project at their previous job from their verbal description alone.
Also, you run the risk of discarding candidates who had the misfortunate of working on boring projects at boring companies.
