If you're asking about never having management experience, then perhaps someone has actually managed something outside of a professional working environment - such as having to organise an event, run a household, etc. Management is about "managing", not just working. There are more soft skills to management which I think a lot of (good) employers will see. There's conduct, integrity, assertiveness, balance, astute, confident, good communicator, intelligent (and emotionally), etc... the list goes on. I think the best advice a manager could ever get is "don't be an a***hole".

If you can see good qualities in someone, I don't think you can go wrong. Someone who bullshits will stab you right in the back if they get the chance.

The problem is, how do you get all this out of a person in just a couple of interviews? The key here is to interview them again [and repeatedly again, if you really want the right person]. Have a list of "impressions" handy which you picked up on during the previous interviews - discuss with peers.

Give the interviewee the chance to clarify your questions.

In reality though, if I'm asking for a Manager, I'll probably find one with prior experience, unless I'm hiring a person who I might eventually need to grow into that role.
