Hi there - ex professional recruiter here. I used to think I was a horrible interviewer. The best advice I ever got as a recruiter was to ask about what motivates a person. And ask why. A lot. The best interview I ever had was at Amazon. They didn't just ask why, they asked how. Basically, ask questions about what a person did - not what they would theoretically do / how they would solve a problem - and why they did them. Past success is indicative of future performance. And I ended up getting the job.
