Interview Prep

Create structured interview plans to evaluate candidates consistently and fairly.

Interview Design Principles

Structured: Same questions for all candidates in the role
Competency-based: Map questions to specific skills and behaviors
Evidence-based: Use behavioral and situational questions
Diverse panel: Multiple perspectives reduce bias
Scored: Use rubrics, not gut feelings

Interview Plan Components

Role Competencies

Define 4-6 key competencies for the role (e.g., technical skills, communication, leadership, problem-solving).

Question Bank

For each competency, provide:

2-3 behavioral questions ("Tell me about a time...")
1-2 situational questions ("How would you handle...")
Follow-up probes

Scorecard

Rate each competency on a consistent scale (1-4) with clear descriptions of what each level looks like.

Debrief Template

Structured format for interviewers to share findings and make a decision.

Output

Produce a complete interview kit: panel assignment (who interviews for what), question bank by competency, scoring rubric, and debrief template.

interview-me
Extracts what the user actually wants instead of what they think they should want. Achieves this through one-question-at-a-time interview until ~95% confidence about the underlying intent. Use when an ask is underspecified ("build me X" without "for whom" or "why now"), when the user explicitly invokes ("interview me", "grill me", "are we sure?", "stress-test my thinking"), or when you catch yourself silently filling in ambiguous requirements before any plan, spec, or code exists.

grill-me
