Want to see how an applicant for a key position reacts to stress? Try these...

- Ask three questions at once.

Can the candidate remember the questions without prompting?

- Give conflicting opinions early in the interview.

See if the applicant agrees with both.

- Ask “How are you going to lose money for me?”

Translation: What mistakes have you made in the past and what mistakes might you make in the future?
