Assuming we're talking about mid-career professionals. The fact that someone is invited to the interview means that you liked CV. Now the task is to ensure that CV is truthful - by discussing previous projects, experience...

After this discussion, if the interviewer is unable to tell whether the candidate is lying or not about his past experience - this means he shouldn't be interviewing in the first place.
