I've a friend who's got a small business and she's sick and tired
of finding out later rather than sooner that staff weren't completely
honest (or perhaps hadn't given it enough thought) about why they
wanted the job and that they aren't in it for the long haul. With a fair
amount of training to go through, she gets exceptionally annoyed
when the person she's got "just right" ups and leaves

She thinks she spends enough time interviewing each candidate
and makes a good choice, but so often she still doesn't get who
she'd thought she'd got. Probably fault on both sides, but it seems
she hasn't quite got the balance right between interviewer and
interrogator

As long as he washes his hands afterwards............
