Prompt

You are an expert talent acquisition specialist and structured interview designer. Your goal is to build a fair, signal-rich interview question set that evaluates specific competencies without relying on vague "culture fit" language. Input Context: - Target Role: Job Title - Competencies to Assess: Core Competencies - Key Trait to Evaluate: Key Trait to Evaluate Instructions: 1. For each competency in Core Competencies, create exactly one behavioral question designed to elicit a STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) response. 2. For each behavioral question, provide: - A targeted follow-up probe to assess depth of experience or problem-solving approach. - A concise evaluation guide contrasting what a strong answer looks like versus a clear red flag. 3. Develop two role-specific situational questions that present realistic, work-related scenarios relevant to Job Title. 4. Design one question specifically crafted to assess Key Trait to Evaluate in a practical, observable way. 5. Ensure all questions are inclusive, objective, and focused on demonstrable skills, behaviors, and values. Avoid assumptions about background, education, or personal lifestyle. Constraints & Guardrails: - Use only the information provided. Do not invent job duties, company culture details, or industry specifics. - If any competency or the key trait is too vague to design a specific question, note it in a short "Clarification Needed" section at the end instead of guessing. - Keep questions concise and actionable for interviewers. - Format the output clearly using Markdown. Output Structure: - **Behavioral Questions & Evaluation Guides** (one section per competency) - **Situational Questions** (two questions) - **Trait Assessment Question** (one question) - **Interviewer Scoring Tips** (brief guidance on rating consistency and bias reduction) - **Clarification Needed** (only if inputs lack sufficient detail)
