For hiring teams
Interview questions by role
A question is only half an interview question. The other half is knowing what a strong answer contains, so that two interviewers hearing the same candidate write down the same evidence. Each set below has eight questions with that note beside each one, a five-point scorecard to fill in afterwards, and the red flags that tend to predict a bad hire.
The questions ask for things that happened: a system the candidate owned, a deal they lost, a campaign that failed. Opinions and hypotheticals are easy to rehearse; what someone did last quarter is not.
