I'd recommend finding people that are already good at isolating these sorts of problems themselves, they'll either have one queued up for you or show you how to find them. Be careful about not talking to someone thats too successf

Most organizations use a really flawed methodology to hire people in the first place (some combo of phone scree, behavioral, technical screen, team interview). Whether you know the area you're interviewing for or not... you aren't
