That seems to be the problem you (or your boss) is trying to solve by
introducing the questionaire, but IMHO that is the wrong solution. Higher
management should have the final decision on hiring (of course, that's what
their high for), but they should be advised by technical people, peers or on
level higher than the intended function. I have done a number of such
interviews, and I think it is very difficult for the 'inflated CV' type of
guy to bluf his way through! Some points for such an interview:
- open questions, get the guy to talk about his technical work
- show him a circuit or program with a (not too difficult) bug and ask him
to explain the working
- let him question you about the job
