Gathering information from interviews is really simple. You ask the right questions and get the right answers.
But what do you think will happen if you go to the interview without doing any preliminary research?

As the interviewer, you want to know as much as possible about the person, the company he works for and his special interests. You want to go into the interview as prepared as possible.
During the interview if you mention information about him or the company, he will know you have done your homework and you are interested in what he has to say.
