Yeah, the behavioral stuff. Not to get positive infor but to give them a chance to eliminate themselves without realizing it. But of course if you suspect the person is coached for standard behavioral questions just stop asking them because they won't work.

Besides a few business related technical questions to verify that they aren't bullshitting on their resume, my favorite is always "what's your biggest weakness?" It's fun to watch them squirm. "what was your last failure and what did you learn from it?" I really don't care what they answer but rather how they answer. YOU can tell the schemers that are thinking, how can I answer this and still look good.

The guys that answer, I work to hard and should spend more time home with my family, I can usually eliminate. The best coached answer is "sometimes I try to hard/long to figure something out about something when I probably should have asked for help. I'm working on asking quicker.

In a regular interview that last 60 minutes, there's no question you can ask that will 100% guarentee that you will make a good hire, but behavioral questions can eliminate the losers.

The key is to keep them talking. Just to see how stupid they become after about 30 minutes.
Remember it's you versus them. Make sure to masturbate while interviewing them so they know for certain that you're getting off on the power rush.
