Structured interview rubric design
When to use
Use when opening a new role or when your current interview process has a high false-positive rate. Better signal = fewer mis-hires.
Prompt Template
I'm designing a structured interview loop for a {level} {role}. Team context: {team_context}. The biggest gaps on my team right now are: {gaps}.
Design an interview loop with:
1. 4-5 interview rounds with specific focus areas (not generic 'culture fit')
2. Calibrated rubric for each round (what does a 1-4 score look like specifically?)
3. Questions that reveal signal, not rehearsed answers
4. How to assess for the specific gaps without making it obvious
5. Debrief structure that minimizes groupthink and anchoring bias
6. Red flags and green flags specific to this role/level
