Hiring Scorecard Builder: One Prompt

Build a hiring scorecard for this role: Role: [Job title]
Company stage: [pre-revenue / seed / scaling / established]
Team size: [current headcount]
Reports to: [who]
Key outputs: [what this person will own and be measured on in 90 days]
Deal-breakers: [anything that is an automatic no] Build a scorecard with: 1. Evaluation criteria (8-10 items), each with: - Criterion name - Why it matters for this specific role - Score 1-5 rubric (what does a 1 look like vs a 5) - Weight (total weights = 100%) 2. Minimum bar, the lowest acceptable score per criterion to move forward 3. Red flag list, 5-8 specific signals that should disqualify a candidate regardless of score 4. Interview questions, 2 questions per top-weighted criterion (behavioral format: 'Tell me about a time...') Output as a structured list I can paste into a spreadsheet.

After generating your scorecard, paste this to build the interview:

"I have a scorecard for [ROLE]. Now build me a structured interview around it.

Here is the scorecard: [PASTE SCORECARD]

For each criterion in the scorecard, give me:
1. One behavioral question (tell me about a time...)
2. One situational question (what would you do if...)
3. The 2 or 3 specific signals in their answer that indicate a strong response
4. One follow-up that probes deeper if their first answer is surface-level

Also give me:
- 3 questions to ask in the first 5 minutes to calibrate their self-awareness
- 2 questions specifically designed to surface the most common failure mode for this role
- The one question you would cut if I only have 30 minutes total

Format as a table: Criterion, Behavioral Q, Situational Q, Strong Signals, Follow-up."
