Actually, I feeling is, if you hire a noder, most likely he is professional / an expert in his domain. Because I think being a true node.js developer, he has to know the particular domain (e.g. http, or socket.. or other stuff) inside out.

That's what I did. Show him what Node can do under load, compare to PHP or Python. Show how much more request it can deal with. Show how easy it is to bring up and down the node (like in Amazon instance). Don't show him the code. mostly likely your prototype is messy.
