You seem to have a bit of trust issues in the hiring process. So far, I have not had any issue hiring people and determining that they knew what they were talking about versus faking it. There are some basic things that you expect people to know and, if they don't know them, you expect them to behave in a certain way such as simply admit it instead of trying to BS through it. I remember an interview that I was in and I didn't know the answer to a particular technical question and I said that I didn't know. I ended up getting that job. My opinion is the personality of the person that you hire is more important than technical ability because people can learn to improve their technical ability, but people can't really improve their personality. That isn't to say technical ability isn't important, just the second thing that I look for.
