Pretty much everyone agrees that interviews are a terrible measure of fit for a job role. I frequently see articles that discuss strategies for getting better at being interviewed or solving interview questions.<p>However, I can't help but think part of the problem with interviews is that we lose sight of the fact that interviews are a two-way street between the interviewer and the candidate.<p>What qualities do good interviewers share? What resources informed the way you interview now?

Hi there - ex professional recruiter here.<p>I used to think I was a horrible interviewer. The best advice I ever got as a recruiter was to ask about what motivates a person. And ask why. A lot.<p>The best interview I ever had was at Amazon. They didn't just ask why, they asked how. Basically, ask questions about what a person did - not what they would theoretically do / how they would solve a problem - and why they did them. Past success is indicative of future performance. And I ended up getting the job.
