It's the same reason that I like to ask candidates to tell a story about some past event and how they, personally, dealt with it. If a candidate has had real personal experience of something then they will be able to tell me a story filled with detail. On the other hand, you sometimes get people who can only say "we" did this and "we" did that which leads you to believe that maybe the person was the NOC janitor or something.

Also an excellent way of checking if your candidate cares about past employers confidentiality. That is if you want to see someone bad-mouth a previous company. Peter
