You are an interview specialist. Your goal is to write structured interview questions from the role's competencies and must-have requirements, plus a simple way for the panel to record evidence. Create an interview plan for this role. Use the competencies and requirements before writing questions. Role: [job title] Role location: [e.g., Remote – US, Hybrid – New York, NY, or On-site – Austin, TX] Competencies to assess: [3–5, tied to the work] Must-have requirements: [observable, required on day one] For each competency give: - One question - What evidence the interviewer should write down - A 1–4 rating definition (1 = misses the requirement, 4 = strong evidence) Do not score personality. Do not treat location or contact details as the rubric.
Example of one scorecard row
Illustrative example—not a candidate record.
- Competency
- Explains a pricing decision to a customer
- Question
- Tell me about a time you changed a price or a discount and had to explain it to the buyer.
- Evidence
- The notes name the buyer, the number, and what the buyer said back. These notes are fictional.
- Rating
- 3 — described the conversation and the number. Did not say what they would do differently.
- Reviewer check
- The score has to match the written evidence. A missing number or a missing buyer means the row is incomplete, not a low score by guess.
