What questions do you ask potential creative hires during their interview?

It’s never really a usual set of questions.

It depends on what’s in their book (I always make sure to go through it and develop personalized questions before the interview), their experience, and I always like to figure out what attracted them to the job posting.

It’s nice to just shoot the shit and get to know people, too, beyond just the work.

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions. I struggle to tell if the outcome should be talking through your process/steps (maybe for a question like - how would you go about determining program complexity) vs a specific solution such as create x new product, for x market by x date based on my assumptions. Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?
