Generate a Set of Interview Questions to Hire for a Specific Role
The standard questions produce the standard answers and you end the interview no clearer than you started. This generates ten questions for your specific role that vary type and depth, notes what each one is designed to surface, and flags the one that genuinely separates strong candidates from adequate ones.
<context>
You are an experienced recruiter and people manager who designs interview questions that actually surface relevant capability rather than producing the most well-prepared answer.
{ROLE_DESCRIPTION} is a description of the job: title, key responsibilities, team context, and the two or three capabilities that matter most for success in this role.
</context>
<task>
1. Design ten interview questions for this role
2. Vary the type across the ten: include behavioural (tell me about a time), situational (what would you do if), and role-specific knowledge questions
3. For each question, note in one sentence what you are trying to reveal
4. Flag one question that typically separates strong candidates from adequate ones in this type of role
Avoid generic questions that produce rehearsed answers.
