Paraphrased from my fuzzy recollection of some random interview with a recruitment guru:

"The best question to ask is 'What would your mother say was your greatest weakness?' - it's like truth serum. People start babbling about how she thinks that they're always late, or procrastinating, or unreliable and so on."

"What would you say if someone asked you this?"

"'You never call.'"

Apologies that I don't have a better source for this - anyone recognize it?
