Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI prompt to write interview screening questions?

A great prompt to write interview screening questions is specific about the output you want. Use this template as a starting point: "Write 10 screening questions for a first-round interview for a Senior Account Executive role at a B2B SaaS company. Include: 3 behavioural questions (STAR format cues), 3 situational questions, 2 skill-based questions about pipeline management, and 2 culture-fit questions. For..." Adjust the specifics — audience, tone, length — to match your situation.

Which AI tool works best to write interview screening questions?

+
Claude handles this prompt well, but the same structure works in Claude, Gemini, and other modern LLMs. The reason it works isn't the tool — it's the level of context and constraint in the prompt itself.

Why does my AI interview screening questions come out generic?

+
Generic output almost always traces back to a vague prompt like "Give me interview questions". To fix it: add audience, tone, length, examples to follow, and things to avoid. The strong prompt above shows each of those in action.

Can I use this prompt commercially?

+
Yes — these are templates, not protected content. Adapt them freely for client work, internal use, or production tools. Output rights depend on the AI tool's terms (ChatGPT, Claude etc each set their own).
