> I argue that it cannot be done consciously. It's gut/instinct thing. If you have a mechanical approach, anyone can game the system and get a job because humans can be like chameleons to present themselves as the right candidate, and they can study for the interview.

If it were only a gut/instinct thing, you would have no basis to reject 'wrong action' other than it feeling bad for the gut..

At some point, the 'set' of circumstances will/will not intersect the 'set' of actions such that it is clear that the person acted/didn't act 'correctly' according to ones heirarchy of values.

Ethics, philosophy, and theology exist for a reason - the fact that our society tends to ignore this , presuming and not investigating the subtleties within a relative-individualist framework doesn't make these frameworks correct, or even a very coeherent set of doctrines with which to gauge things..

but yes, a 30 minute interview, or even a 1 week trial period is not a very good means by which to judge character, since the potential reward is great enough, and the period to observe inconsistencies short enough, as to allow a deviant personality to 'fool people' for the trial period.
