Generate interview questions

You’ve designed your assessment strategy and approved the plan, so you’re now ready to get to the heart of assessments—creating the questions you’ll use in each interview.

Set up an assessment’s interview questions

1. From the Candidate assessment preparation hub, click into a stage (e.g., Screening interview) to open its question builder.

2. You'll land on the New interview questions screen, with three tabs across the top: Job description, Job requisition, and Interview questions.

• Job description (left panel, shown by default): read-only reference content pulled from the role's approved job description including job summary, duties, responsibilities, etc.

• Interview setup (right panel): where you configure the interview and its questions.

3. Under Interview setup, configure:

• Interview duration: a spinner you populate in minutes.

• Set question count: click the link to display a spinner you populate with numbers (e.g., 6 questions, 10 questions, 15 questions).

• Question focus: a free-text field (labeled Focus area for questions) where you describe what the interview should probe. For example: “digital content/documentation strategy, writing and editing, problem solving, using AI to support creating and producing content.” 

4. Under Question types, select Let StaffingManager generate tailored questions from provided information (this is the default option).

• Each question listed individually as Question 1, [Type], Question 2, [Type], and so on, with the full question text.
