As of 13 August 2026, AI can create STAR interview questions.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, no skill needed, and roughly 15 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current job description and copy the duties, essential criteria, desirable criteria and named competencies into a working document.
   2. Decide how many questions the interview can cover and list the competencies that must be assessed, including the time available for each section.
   3. Paste the job details and competencies into a chatbot using the supplied prompt, then ask it to produce the interview pack in a table.
   4. Compare every drafted question with the job description and remove questions that test an unlisted or unnecessary attribute.
   5. Check each question and follow-up against UK equality and fair recruitment guidance, removing personal questions and assumptions about a candidate's circumstances.
   6. Ask a colleague who understands the role to answer whether each question has a clear scoring standard, then revise ambiguous scoring descriptions.
   7. Send the final question set and scoring guide to the interview panel, with instructions to ask the same core questions and record evidence against the agreed criteria.

   Prompt

   Create a structured interview pack for the UK role described below.
   
   Role: [job title]
   Organisation and sector: [organisation and sector]
   Seniority: [level]
   Interview length: [length]
   Competencies to assess: [list the competencies]
   Job description: [paste the current job description]
   
   Write [number] behavioural interview questions using the STAR method. Each question must test one clearly named competency and be answerable using a candidate's past experience. For each question, provide:
   1. The competency being assessed.
   2. The main question.
   3. Two neutral follow-up prompts covering Situation, Task, Action or Result.
   4. A simple scoring guide from 1 to 5 describing weak, acceptable and strong evidence.
   5. What evidence an interviewer should listen for.
   
   Use plain UK English. Keep questions specific to the role, but do not assume facts that are not in the job description. Do not ask about age, disability, health, pregnancy, family responsibilities, religion, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, or other personal matters unrelated to the role. Do not make a hiring recommendation. Flag any question that needs review for relevance, fairness or consistency before use.
