1. Review dynamic questions
For sources like Resume questions, verify the settings:- Max questions: The number of questions generated automatically for each shortlisted Candidate from their resume evidence.
- Instructions: Verify the specific prompt the AI uses to pull questions.
2. Add manual questions
The AI will ask these manual questions during the interview. For each manual question, you must complete the following evaluation criteria framework:| Component | Purpose | Details & Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Question | The prompt the AI asks the Candidate. | Must be specific and clear. |
| Looking for | The specific traits or evidence you want to hear. | Guides the AI’s scoring engine. |
| Strong answer (5) | Concrete examples of a top-tier response. | Sets the benchmark for a perfect score. |
| Weak answer (1) | Red flags or lack of specific evidence. | Sets the floor for a failing score. |
| Weight | Importance level (1 to 10). | 1 is informational, 9 to 10 is role-critical. |
| Max follow-ups | How many times the AI can dig deeper. | Must be between 0 and 2. |
| Time limit | You can set a time limit for each question, and Candidates will see this timer during the interview. | Between 0.5 (30 seconds) and 10 minutes. |
3. Weight & follow-up guidance
- Weight 1: Informational only (excluded from overall score).
- Weight 5 to 8: Core competencies.
- Weight 9 to 10: Role-critical differentiators.
- Max follow-up (0): Use for straightforward factual checks.
- Max follow-up (1 to 2): Use for behavioral, competency, or dynamic resume/skills questions to ensure the AI gets enough evidence without derailing the time limit.
4. Question-writing formula
Use this structure to ensure the AI gets the best data:- Ask for a specific past situation.
- Ask for actions taken.
- Ask for a measurable outcome.
- Better: “Tell me about a time you improved conversion in a low-performing funnel. What did you change and what metric improved?”
- Avoid: “How do you think about conversion optimization?“
5. Interview prompt-aware best practices
The AI interviewer is programmed for specific behaviors. To align your questions with its logic:- Neutrality: The AI stays neutral (no praise).
- Evidence-based: It will utilize its follow-up allowance (up to 2 times) to request specific evidence when answers are vague.
- Scoped: Keep each question focused on exactly one competency.
