SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Interview preparation often devolves into casually reading a resume and asking generic questions, which invites confirmation bias and fails to validate whether a candidate can actually deliver. This Skill replaces that habit with an evidence-based workflow: define the hiring standard first, forensically scan the resume against it, then design questions that pressure-test past claims and simulate future performance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scorecard Definition: Establishes the role's mission, 12-month outcomes, and required competencies before any resume is reviewed, following Geoff Smart's Topgrading method. - Forensic Resume Scan: Detects gaps and highlights using heuristics like "Too Good To Be True" and "Driver vs Passenger", producing both Red Flags and Green Signals to counter confirmation bias (Kahneman). - Pressure Tests & Future Simulations: Generates forensic STAR follow-up questions for past claims and performance-problem scenarios for future prediction (Lou Adler), output as a structured interview guide via the included template. - Use Case: A hiring manager preparing to interview a senior engineer candidate pastes the JD and resume, and receives a complete interview guide with a competency scorecard, red flags, green signals, targeted pressure-test questions, and a first-week scenario simulation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design an interview guide for a candidate by providing the job description and the candidate's resume.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design structured interview questions for a candidate?

Provide the job description and the candidate's resume, and the skill generates a full interview guide. It first defines a competency scorecard, then scans the resume for red flags and green signals, and finally produces pressure-test and future-simulation questions.

What interview methodology does this skill use?

It combines Geoff Smart's Topgrading scorecard approach, Lou Adler's performance-based hiring with future scenario simulation, and Daniel Kahneman's bias-control principles. A domain expert persona is added dynamically based on the candidate's role.

How does the skill avoid confirmation bias in interviews?

It requires defining the hiring scorecard before reading the resume, and mandates listing both Red Flags and Green Signals in the output. This balances concern verification with highlight validation instead of presuming the candidate is exaggerating.

What output does the interview designer produce?

It generates a structured interview guide from the included template containing a competency scorecard, forensic resume scan with red flags and green signals, pressure-test scripts, future simulation scenarios, and a hire/no-hire decision matrix.

When should I not use a forensic interview approach?

Avoid it for early screening calls where no resume deep-dive is needed, or when the role has no defined outcomes to scorecard against. The method works best for structured final-round interviews where evidence validation matters.
