Interview Guide

An interview guide is the sheet you keep in front of you when interviewing a candidate. It ensures every candidate gets the same questions and is scored the same way, so you can compare them fairly.

How to create one: enter the job title, choose the industry and seniority level, then paste the job ad below. In seconds, you’ll get a guide tailored to your ad: what you need to find out in the interview, what candidates for this role often exaggerate, a minute-by-minute interview plan, and 8 questions in the order you’ll ask them. For each question, you’ll see what it assesses, what to look for as the candidate answers, what a good answer sounds like, red flags, and a follow-up question to check whether their story is true. At the end, you’ll find a scoring rubric with every score explained, questions you mustn’t ask (why, what the law says, and what to ask instead), and questions the candidate may ask you. You can print it or save it as a PDF.

Then practise with it: click “Interview a candidate with this guide”. The AI candidate is based on the same job ad, and during the interview, the guide appears below the conversation so you can check off questions and score answers using the rubric. At the end, the report shows, for each requirement, the score you gave, the score the candidate actually deserved, and the question that would have helped you see it.

We use the job description only to create the guide and don’t keep it. The guide isn’t saved either, so print it or save it as a PDF.
