One thing that I've noticed makes a difference is to be positive and complimentary to the candidate at the start of the interview. Make it clear that you're excited to talk to them and that you are genuinely excited to hear what they have to say. I've missed out on hiring good people who were nervous or worried about doing a bad job in the interview. I'm sure I still do miss out on some but I've found a method that lets some people feel more comfortable without being overly difficult on me and can live with that.
