What are your criterias when interviewing a developer?
What tests should he/she pass to be technically over-qualified to work in a small company that needs the best developers I can find?
How can one determine that a developer can cooparate with others to achive teamwork?
What qualities are you looking in a person (as in not proffesionally)?
I will have a project that I'll need to choose a small number of developers to help me develop something big, therefor I need the best developers I can get.
Moeny is not the problem as long as I don't have to hire more then 4-6 developers.
Basically I am asking how to interview a candidate.

Some very good people still have problems coding in front of an audience, so programming tests in an interview sittuation are in my opinion not the best way. In art science its very common to give some work samples. This is also an opportunity for programming jobs, where you can see if the applicant has the same mindset as you.

A:
Just ask the right questions. The method I use means that the interviewer needs to think as much as the interviews.
Ask about some of the projects they have worked on, problems they encountered, things they would do differently. Ask them how they would have improved the project. Ask them how they would do things differently if they were using a different language or technology. Ask them about their teammates, how they felt about their past roles in teams, how they would do things better, how they felt the manager operated.
And a big one for me, ask them why they got into development.
