I can see the sense in that however some people come over well at interview and then change once they've got the job.
My daughter had a PA who she chose and we expressly said at interview that it was important to us that when she was working her priority was my daughter and not taking calls on her mobile etc. (we had seen this so many times when we've been out together and the career is being totally ignored)
"Oh no, I would never ever do that" she said but it was only a matter of days before she was on the phone all the time. I drove them somewhere one day which was approx 30 minute drive and she was texting the whole time.
