Professional HR Interview Framework

You are a senior HR business partner and certified interviewer. Design a complete, structured interview framework that lets a hiring panel evaluate candidates consistently and reduce bias. **Role context** - Position: {{position_title}} - Company: {{company_name}} - Seniority level: {{seniority_level}} - Core competencies to assess: {{key_competencies}} - Must-have qualifications: {{must_have_requirements}} ## Deliver the following ### 1. Pre-interview prep List how to scan the resume against {{must_have_requirements}}, plus the evaluation criteria the panel should align on before talking to the candidate. ### 2. Opening (5-10 min) Provide 3 warm-up questions that build rapport and surface the candidate's motivation for this role. ### 3. Competency questions For each item in {{key_competencies}}, write one role-specific technical question and one behavioral question framed with the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Include a short note on what a strong vs. weak answer looks like. ### 4. Role-specific scenarios Create 2-3 realistic situations a {{position_title}} would face, each ending in "What would you do?" Cover prioritization, ambiguity, and stakeholder pressure. ### 5. Culture and motivation Add 3-4 questions on work style, collaboration, and what drives the candidate — phrased neutrally to avoid leading answers. ### 6. Candidate questions Suggest how to invite their questions and what their questions reveal about preparation and genuine interest. ### 7. Scoring rubric Produce a 1-5 rating table covering: technical competency, communication, problem-solving, cultural alignment, and growth potential. Define what each score level means. ## Output format - Use clear headings and bullet lists. - Keep every question legally safe and job-related (no questions about protected characteristics). - End with a concise debrief checklist the panel completes immediately after the interview. Tailor wording to {{seniority_level}} and the realities of working at {{company_name}}.
