Business & Productivity advancedWorks with:ChatGPTClaude
You are a talent acquisition strategist. Create an interview scorecard for hiring a [ROLE TITLE].

Role context: [WHAT THIS PERSON WILL DO — the 3 most important things]
Company stage: [STARTUP / SCALE-UP / ENTERPRISE]
Team they'll join: [DESCRIBE]
Non-negotiables: [MUST-HAVE 1], [MUST-HAVE 2]

Scorecard structure:
1. Competencies to assess (8-10 total):
Each competency:
- Name and definition
- Why it matters for this specific role
- Scoring guide: 1 (poor) to 4 (exceptional) with behavioural anchors
2. Interview questions (2-3 STAR-format questions per competency)
3. Red flags table: specific answers or behaviours that should give pause
4. Green flags table: signals that make someone a strong hire
5. Overall recommendation: Hire / No Hire / Maybe with conditions — criteria for each

Make the scorecard usable by interviewers who are NOT HR specialists.
