Are you Interviewing Testers ?

Are you recruiting or interviewing testers? - Then hear is my little experience shared. I usually get mails to take interviews for my team. Due some constraints like More focused on Work (or) its on Automation testing. I dont want to be a Fake interviewer asking which i dont know (nor) i din't have thinking energy to ask questions. I never look from where the interview candidate came from (Location / Reference), as its biasing objects. Recently, I had an interview scheduled. Usually, when any candidate attends - I hear the same answers: "I have brushed up the concepts two days, I have went for training XXX at Bangalore, I heard it but i dont remember" Yes, we all forget the definitions . We never use them while testing the real-time applications.  My Thoughts to take Interview is: Give a Web Application or Mobile Application or Web App to test for 30 mins  and Find out the Issues or Bugs or Questions. This is what candidate needs to do , when selected.
