None that I know of. Any system can be gamed. Most of the interview systems focus on some sort of knowledge and learned behavior. But there's no way to truly gage how hard someone will work.
I've been told in the past that I'm smart, have a lot of potential, and work hard. After years of being screwed over and passed over by the company, I no longer work hard. On paper I have the right credentials. I present myself well in interviews. I usually ace the behavioral portion because I know what they want hear and my past experiences provide ample scenarios to choose from. But that doesn't change the fact that I've been conditioned not to trust my employer and that my hard work will be unrewarded. So I probably won't try hard at my next job either.
