Ask them what their daily, weekly, and monthly procedures are. How do they accomplish them? Do they have an example of their daily checklist (or can they generate it from memory)?

The problem with such lists is that the prospects also have those... A few years ago Mike Ault published one. We used it to screen candidates via phone interviews.
Two out of four I talked to gave me perfect answers: word to word from Mike's list.

Use Conner's approach: Give the candidate a white/black board, and ask him/her to draw the SGA
with all it interal structures, all background processes, and explain how all this works
together.....
