I agree. I have decided not to employ people on the basis of a final on-site interview, with no hard feelings. If that isn't a realistic prospect, I struggle to see what that interview is for. But there is a difference between a dud and a con man. There is a reason I only sought legal advice over one of them. In the end I did assume the risk and learn from it. But if I had to pay out of pocket an additional payment at that point I would've refused. For that individual only.
