The interview reflected the resume in many ways. He had experience that aligned to the role. Most questions received extremely long answers that didn't necessarily give me more information than a much shorter one would have...and I say this as someone who prefers to ask open-ended questions that get the candidate talking. It was just endless fluff and exposition that didn't really go anywhere or add anything.

He was nominally qualified, but I could not imagine working with him given how he communicated in his resume and interview. I also didn't want to inflict his communication style on clients, as he would have had to interact with clients directly in the role.
