I do something similar, I ask the candidate what they do when three different people come to them with urgent needs that must be done immediately and there is no way that they can do them in the time given. The answer I’m looking for is “I ask for help.” Or “I talk to my manager.” They don’t fail if they don’t answer it that way, but it’s a good starting point for a conversation about why they didn’t say that. For me, interviewing is more about getting to know someone and how they think than checking off various skill boxes.
