Run Structured Interviews

A structured interview asks every candidate the same questions and scores their answers the same way, so the comparison reflects the candidates rather than the interviewer's memory. Ask the core questions in a set order, press past general answers for a specific past example, and score each answer against written anchors before anyone compares notes. Unstructured interviews reward the articulate and the familiar; structure surfaces what a candidate has actually done. Scoring in the moment, on its own, is what survives the debrief.

Measurable Behaviors

Behaviors are optimized to be directly observable for evidence-based skill tracking.

Ask a neutral follow-up before reacting to an answer

Presses for missing specifics with a flat follow-up before reacting, so the fuller answer comes from the candidate, not a cue about the answer wanted.

Ask every candidate the same core questions

Puts the same core questions in the same order to every candidate, so differences in answers reflect the candidates, not the interview.

Maintain a shared question bank tied to role skills

Keeps a shared question bank tied to role skills, retiring questions as they prove which ones separate strong candidates.

Probe past behavior for specifics, not hypotheticals

Pushes past hypothetical answers for a specific past situation and what the candidate personally did.

Score each answer against a written anchor

Scores every answer against the written anchor right after the interview, before comparing notes, so the mark records what was said.

What a Mastered Interview Process Looks Like

Every candidate meets the same questions in the same order, each answer scored against an anchor and recorded before anyone compares notes. Interviewers press past hypotheticals for a real past instance and ask a neutral follow-up before reacting, and a shared question bank keeps the panel on one tested set.
