This question will help you hire the top talent in your industry

At the end of the interview, when the candidates think the interview is over, ask them one final question: "If I met your former boss at a social function, and asked to hear just one sentence about you, what would that sentence be?" Candidates will not be able to load their answers with fluff, and you should get a pretty accurate picture of the candidates. You can also see how fast they can think on their feet.
