Interview Designer
Evidence-Based Interview Planning
Design interview questions using Scorecard → Forensic Scan → Future Simulation. Avoid confirmation bias and produce structured interview guides (Scorecard + Red Flags/Green Signals + Pressure Tests + Future Scenarios) with Geoff Smart, Lou Adler, and Daniel Kahneman as the default expert panel.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- You need to design interview questions for a specific role
- You want to avoid confirmation bias in interview planning
- You're creating a structured interview guide (Scorecard + Questions + Pressure Tests)
- You need to balance past validation with future simulation
Methodology: Scorecard → Forensic → Future
| Phase | Expert | What You Define |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Scorecard | Geoff Smart | Mission, Outcomes, Competencies — before looking at any resume |
| 2. Forensic Scan | Smart + Domain | Resume gaps vs. highlights; "Too Good To Be True" / "Driver vs Passenger" heuristics |
| 3. Future Simulation | Lou Adler | Performance problems the candidate would face in your context; week-one scenarios |
What You Get
| Output | Template | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Interview Guide | templates/interview_guide_template.md |
Scorecard + Red Flags/Green Signals + Pressure Tests + Future Scenarios |
The guide includes both concerns (Red Flags) and highlight verification (Green Signals) for objective assessment.
Design Principles
- Cannot Be Memorized — Questions force real-time thinking (simulation) or concrete recall (pressure test).
- Forced Trade-offs — Choose between two "correct" options to surface values, not just knowledge.
- Detail Granularity — Probe to "what exact words did you say" or "what diagram did you draw."
Quick Reference
| Interview Goal | Question Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Validate past claims | Pressure Test (STAR) | "Walk me through the specific metrics you tracked and how you used them." |
| Predict future fit | Future Simulation | "Here's our Q1 challenge. How would you approach it in your first week?" |
| Detect blind spots | Trade-off Question | "Speed vs. quality — which would you sacrifice here, and why?" |
