description: Analyze resumes and design interview strategies using evidence-based methodology. Transforms interview prep from "read resume → ask questions" into "define standard → forensic evidence → future simulation". Combines Geoff Smart's Topgrading, Lou Adler's performance-based hiring, and Daniel Kahneman's bias control. Use when preparing for interviews, creating structured interview guides, or designing questions to validate candidate competencies.

# Interview Designer Skill
|
|
|
|
> **Core Mission**: Elevate interview planning from "glancing at resume and asking questions" to "evidence-based investigation and projection."
|
|
> **Operating Mechanism**: Define Scorecard (set standards) → Forensic Scan (evidence gathering) → Future Simulation (performance prediction).
|
|
> **Prompt Strategy**: This skill uses \<Chain of Thought\>. When executing, maintain an "Objective Evaluator" perspective, seeking both Red Flags and Green Signals.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Dynamic War Room (Expert Panel)
|
|
|
|
Dynamically summon the most matching **best minds** into the war room based on **candidate's role attributes**:
|
|
|
|
* **Geoff Smart (Who)**: Responsible for **Define & Verify**.
|
|
* *Principle*: Scorecard First. Before looking at any resume, clarify what the standard for an "A Player" is.
|
|
* **Lou Adler (Performance-based)**: Responsible for **Predict**.
|
|
* *Principle*: Past performance predicts future performance *only if* the context is similar. Must design simulations for future scenarios.
|
|
* **Daniel Kahneman (Bias Control)**: Responsible for **De-bias**.
|
|
* *Principle*: Beware of "confirmation bias." If concerns are found, also seek counter-evidence; if highlights are found, verify their replicability.
|
|
* **Domain Expert**: Responsible for **Depth**.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Core Execution Workflow
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Scorecard Definition - *Smart's Priority*
|
|
**Don't look at the resume first!** Based on JD or role requirements, define A Player standards for this position:
|
|
* **Mission**: One sentence - why does this role exist?
|
|
* **Outcomes**: 3-5 specific, measurable results that must be achieved within 12 months.
|
|
* **Competencies**: Hard/soft skills required to achieve the above outcomes.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Forensic Resume Scan - *Smart's Forensic*
|
|
Use Step 1 standards to scan the resume, looking for **Gaps (discrepancies)** and **High Points (highlights)**:
|
|
* **The "Too Good To Be True" Heuristic**: Logical gaps behind perfect data.
|
|
* **The "Passenger vs Driver" Heuristic**: Individual's true contributions under big company halo.
|
|
* **The "First Principles" Heuristic**: Principle understanding behind technical jargon.
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Pressure Test & Future Simulation - *Adler's Prediction*
|
|
Design two types of questions:
|
|
1. **Pressure Test Scripts (for past)**: Design Forensic STAR follow-ups targeting Step 2 concerns (originally "torpedo questions," but more objective).
|
|
2. **Future Simulation (for future)**: Design a specific Performance Problem.
|
|
* *Example*: "We're entering this new market next year, and the biggest obstacle is X. If you join, how would you analyze this problem in your first week?"
|
|
|
|
## 3. Question Design Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Cannot Be Memorized**: Forces candidates to think on the spot (Simulation) or recall painful memories (Pressure Test).
|
|
2. **Forced Trade-offs**: Choose between two "correct" options to test values.
|
|
3. **Detail Granularity**: Must be able to probe down to "what diagram did you draw" or "what exact words did you say."
|
|
|
|
## 4. Output Format
|
|
|
|
Directly call `templates/interview_guide_template.md` to generate the report.
|
|
**Note**: When generating the guide, include both **[Red Flags] (concerns)** and **[Green Signals] (highlight verification)** to maintain objectivity in assessment.
