Asking about my skills, competencies, in an interview seems dumb because that was what the CV and cover letter were for.
Wait until the candidate asks for the salary and then wait until you get the cheapest candidate who probably lacks skills and talent.
Generally there are resources that companies can use to train newbies to upskill them and pay the taxes they are due.
Typically the interview is about evaluating and verifying the info on the resume
You can train anyone it's just a matter of time and money...
