    Well if it's them wanting you, you're surely in a good place to pick their brains. Being honest is obviously the first place to start and questions that will force them to also be is the next.

    1. "Why should I come work for you? (and how are you going to give me a better situation than what i currently have?)"
    2. "What is a rough breakdown of the work I'd be doing?"
    3. "What is business like at the moment?"

    I find the reactions often more telling than the answers to these. An open place will be honest, an uncomfortable one will try to sell themselves too hard or avoid the questions altogether. A dishonest agency will simply tell you everything you want to hear. In a shitty economy there needs to be an added layer of realism and transparency regarding this - no one wants to walk onto a job to become redundant a month later, nor do they want to be lured into a place to find themselves doing a menial job that has a "title" attached to it.
