It may be helpful here to review the three main goals of interviewing.

First of all, how well can the person do the job? What is their level of ability in the crucial areas of this role?

Secondly, will the person do the job? How motivated are they? How interested and enthusiastic are they?

And lastly, how well does the person fit with the culture of the team, the department, the organization and with the manager's style?

It's not that we are advocating hiring only in our own image! But research consistently shows that at least 60% of people leave a job because of lack of fit with their manager. I'll provide examples of behavioral questions that match these three main interviewing goals in another section.
