Adherents of that misguided sense of "fairness" missed the entire point of interviews particularly the need to scrutinise how the candidates' backgrounds, experience, attitudinal mix and any other relevant factors fitted the needs of the role to be filled. Asking the same question seldom did the job whereas asking questions that probed the key requirements of the post would provide better outcomes.
