Since it’s all a moot anyhow being that I’ll likely never own a business, I’ll say that I’d try to spend the day with them doing non work related stuff to get a feel for who they really were, then if I thought they felt like a good fit on that front, I would ask them for hands on demonstrations of the skills they will actually be using to perform their job…and not every job under the roof, their job that they were hired for.
I mean, presumably this isn’t a popular idea, given that no one does it, so I don’t think if I did it it would necessarily catch on. This is a very loose hypothetical though and I’m sure full of flaws.

Sounds like a load of hassle. Imagine having to spend a day with 100 different companies in the hopes of getting hired.
