I’ve found the best interviews are when you don’t go line by line off their resume. Rather you just talk about projects they have been on, technologies they have used, challenges/successes, etc. That way, you get a real and honest appraisal of their skills and capabilities. I’ve found that canned questions really don’t work and don’t give you a good feel for the candidate.
