​Assuming you still use interviews to select new employees (and many companies don't)  you might consider how effective they are.

In normal circumstances, interviews fall into 2 categories:

1. Benign but not informative - a benign experience but providing no insight into the potential of the individual or their fit for your organisation, or 
2. Totally pointless and unpleasant - offering no insight into interviewee suitability but also being a negative experience that reflects poorly on the interviewer and the organisation.
