Oh sorry I got it wrong.

Then I'd flip those questions. I would tell them one thing that stood in the way of beeing efficient in the past and ask if they had such a situation before and if, how they dealt with it.

I'd also ask common stuff like:

  • how they approach remote work (if possible)
  • how much traveling is expected (I personally like to travel for example)
  • How important code quality is to them and additionally how serious they take it to achieve this (code reviews, included in estimations or internal budgets)
  • How they test. Automated or manual? Documentation? Even testing at all?
  • how they approach educational things (how regular, does the developer has to come up with specific trainings he want to take part or is there an instance that organizes those)

If they are working agile (at least saying so), let them talk about their way to become agile. This is always interesting because this is a long process and can tell you how they tackle issues, resolve conflicts and how well the team work together und changing conditions. And it gives you insight into their daily business.
