Something I’ve asked in the past: “what is the one thing that the person hired into this role, if they did that, at the end of the year you’d say that was a great hire” seems to always catch people off guard and I’ve gotten answers that were almost wildly out of scope for the job responsibilities. When that happens it’s interesting to see their response when you point that out. Also huge red flag means the person interviewing you had no idea what they’re interviewing you for or everyone has a different idea what this role does. I ask this to everyone at every round.

What are you hoping the person you hire will be able to help you with? What are your expectations for this role?

Definitely my new favorite comment, thank you.

I have asked several more indirect variations of that same questions but you boiled it down to an exact phrase and I am memorizing it.
