At my last job, we weren't allowed to interview anyone until we had either been trained in interviewing, or were doing the interview with someone who was trained.

When I took the training class, I assumed it was all about not asking questions we could be sued for, but that probably took up about 5 minutes of the class. Instead, the instructor created exactly the scenario you described. Someone who sounded really, really great and who you'd like to work with, until you thought about what you heard and realized he hadn't told you anything at all.

Good con artists are really good. Even if the average interviewee isn't trying to pull a con, digging into their real experience isn't something we're all good at. Training helps.
