Ideal, though unrealistic, would look like this. Phone call from interested employer to ask a few questions back and forth. If things seem good set up an interview. At interview, show potential employee where they will be working, what they would work on, then sit at a table for the interview. Potential hire knows their ability level and is honest with the employer about it. Employer knows exactly what they need in the hire and is honest with them about it. They come to a mutual decision about whether they are a good fit for employment there. Interview done, and both parties know what to expect from each other afterwards.
