yeah I really don't understand this "catch them out" mentality.

My approach is to try and make the candidate feel relaxed, as I want them to show their best self in an already stressful situation. Following this it's about giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their skills.

If you go into an interview with a combative mindset of "filtering out the lemons" and then complain how hard it is to hire good people, you really ought to take a long hard look in the mirror.
