Structured Interview Question Set
Ask every candidate comparable questions.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Create a structured interview kit. Role and level: [ROLE_AND_LEVEL]. The five most important competencies for success: [COMPETENCIES]. The team context: [TEAM_CONTEXT]. Interview length: [LENGTH].
For each competency write: one behavioral question ("Tell me about a time when..."), one situational question ("What would you do if..."), what a strong answer includes (3 signs), what a weak answer looks like (3 signs), and follow-up probes. Provide a 1 to 5 scoring scale with anchors for each competency: 1 = no evidence, 3 = meets the standard with some prompting, 5 = clear, repeated, specific evidence.
Add an opening script (60 words) that explains the process, a closing script that explains next steps and timing, a note-taking template with columns for question, evidence, score, and concern, and rules: ask the same core questions of everyone, score before discussing with others, avoid questions about protected characteristics or family plans, and keep notes factual. Include a list of questions that are risky to ask in [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY]. Use only the role details I provided.
Treat the output as a draft, not legal or HR advice. Have an employment lawyer or HR professional who knows [JURISDICTION] verify any legal, contractual or policy point before you rely on it or publish it.

Competency: ownership. Behavioral: "Tell me about a time you noticed a problem nobody had assigned to you. What did you do and what happened?" Probes: "What did you decide not to do?" "Who did you involve?" Strong answer: names a specific problem, took action without being told, measured the result (for example cut returns by 12 percent), reflects on what they would change. Weak answer: describes team work in general, no result, blames others. Scale: 1 no evidence; 3 meets standard with prompting; 5 clear, repeated, specific evidence. Situational: "A customer reports a mistake in your colleague's work. What do you do?" Do not ask about age, family plans, or health [VERIFY in your location]. Score before the debrief.
