Re: Legal questions you can ask?
You may ask any question relevant to the job that is not in violation of Title VII or FEHA. You must avoid questions that elicite information about age, sex, religion, race, color, national origin, etc. Relevancy depends on the job. I know of no reason to prohibit as question such as would you hire that employee again or whether an applicant was a good workers.
