That is one of the biggest reason I look at experience and ask situational questions as opposed to looking at their certs. The number of people with an impressive amount of certs but nothing more than rote memorization is insane. The moment you ask them how to apply it, they fall apart.
Experience has one of the lowest predictive validity out of all job selection criteria. Situational judgement is fine but I’d suggest pairing it with structural behavioral interview and job knowledge as a replacement for experience
