The Prompt

Build a screening kit for this role.

Role: {{title}}
Must-haves:
{{musts}}
Disqualifiers: {{disqualifiers}}
Interview stage: {{stage}}

Deliver:
1. Scorecard: 5–7 criteria, 1–4 scale, what a 4 looks like vs a 2
2. 8 structured questions mapped to criteria (no brainteasers)
3. What a strong / weak answer contains for the 4 most important questions
4. A 20-minute phone screen agenda

Do not add culture-fit questions that are really "people like us" tests. If culture matters, define observable behaviours.

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
