Note
The form works for both sides of the table. With an object, it belongs to the questioner: the committee is interviewing candidates. Without one, it can belong to the person being questioned: she is interviewing for a teaching post means she is the applicant. As a gerund, it heads a noun phrase that keeps its own object, as in interviewing witnesses, and that phrase can serve as the subject or object of another verb.
She is interviewing for a teaching post next week.
He spent the spring interviewing at several law firms.
