Unicorns and Privacy
"When a candidate is curious, it suggests genuine engagement with your company and interest beyond a paycheck. Curiosity is a great way to predict if a candidate will be willing to learn and grow in their position as well."

While generally true, I think they put on blinders at the end. Some folks display their curiosity through observation more than questioning.
