My favorite question from a hiring manager: "When can you start working here?"
But, when I'm the interviewer I like to ask open ended questions that relate closely to the work that's going to be expected and how the applicant's experience fits into that. I avoid asking generic brain teaser type questions or language/framework trivia questions. I assume that the person I'm interviewing doesn't know everything and, like me, there will be gaps in their knowledge. No silly "gotcha" questions.
I may also ask about their most recent project, what was the most interesting part, what was the most challenging part, what worked the best and the worst. I may ask them to diagram it out on a whiteboard just to see how well they can explain something they've worked on. That will be important for demoing at the end of sprints and epics.
I also like to ask why they are here, why they chose to apply at this particular company. I want to see if they are in "a job, any job" mode or if there was something in particular they thought was interesting about the company.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
