Any tips?
Any good questions?
Any 'testing' questions?
(ie. how do you handle bitmaps in flash to avoid aberations / blurring) - that's a bit blunt really, if they can be subtly woven in, all the better.

Look at there past work and if it's shite don't hire them.

Break the ice, use one of these...
...on a serious note, try angling the questions towards finding out whether they can express 'ideas' fluently and intelligently. Last thing you'll want is a designer who goes all spazz when asked to present infront of clients..etc.

be sexually harassing from the start --- for instance:
if it's a she... as if she has a boyfriend - get her feeling you're all interested in her as a person and new employee -- then ask her if she wants to cheat.
my old boss did that... FOR REAL --- and she still works for him... and he asks her at least once a week -- she giggles stupidly everytime.

If it's a she, ask her if she has gig firm experience.
She should respond "No, but I have big firm breasts"

If your interviewing them, then the skills should be there. Your really interviewing the person to make sure they will fit in, and arn't a complete idiot. Things I look for. Details. You would be surprised how many people overlook the small stuff. Thats the thing that pisses me off.
And how well they take crits. If they cant handle it. get out of the biz. Its not the end of the world. So tell him to explain why he did something in his portfolio. And look for a solid answer, not a run around. Then make a suggestion to one of his works. See how he reacts. Ass kiss or "well the client and I went back and forth and he really liked this..." Shows they have some balls and hopefully he already tried your suggestion. Shows initiative.
Good Luck

Sit in a leather high-backed chair with your back to the door as they walk in. Stroke a white cat and laugh manically about getting Gadget next time.........next time!!!!!!!!!!!!
A mailed fist would be excellent, but not essential

look at his/her work and check what they want to do in future. but at least, you must find 'em a good co-worker.
