Hiring techs who care about inspections — where do you find them?

The tech who treats a pre-walk like it matters is worth two who do not. Where do you find them, how do you spot it in an interview, and what do you ask on a working interview day? If you are posting an opening, include the city and the role — no contact details in posts; members can reply here.

The resume tells you where a tech has been; it does not tell you whether they will test the alarm or just look at it. My favorite filter is a working interview with a planted miss — a window that will not stay up, an outlet with no power — and watching whether they go looking for trouble or just complete the list they were handed. Curiosity is the skill; the rest can be taught. What is the interview question or hands-on test that tells you a tech actually cares about the details?
