As of 13 August 2026, AI can write interview questions for a job role.

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 30 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, seniority and interview format into the prompt.
   2. Add the interview length, interviewer roles and the specific skills or behaviours the panel must assess.
   3. Paste the completed prompt into a chatbot and ask it to produce the interview pack in the requested format.
   4. Compare every drafted question with the job description and remove questions that do not test a stated requirement.
   5. Ask the hiring manager or HR colleague to check the questions for fairness, accessibility, consistency and inappropriate personal topics.
   6. Put the approved core questions and scoring guide into the interview sheet, then use the same core set and scoring approach for each candidate.

   Prompt

   You are helping prepare a structured interview for a UK employer.
   
   Role: [JOB TITLE]
   Organisation or team: [OPTIONAL CONTEXT]
   Job description: [PASTE THE JOB DESCRIPTION]
   Interview length: [MINUTES]
   Interview format: [VIDEO, PHONE OR IN PERSON]
   Interviewers: [ROLES OR NAMES]
   Essential criteria to assess: [LIST]
   Desirable criteria to assess: [LIST]
   
   Create a practical interview pack containing:
   1. Six to eight questions, mapped to the essential or desirable criteria they assess.
   2. A mix of behavioural, situational and role-specific questions where appropriate.
   3. Two neutral follow-up prompts for each main question.
   4. A simple scoring guide from 1 to 5, with observable evidence for a weak, acceptable and strong answer.
   5. A suggested order and an approximate time for each question.
   6. A short opening script and a fair closing question.
   
   Use plain UK English. Ask the same core questions of every candidate. Do not ask about age, disability, health, pregnancy, religion, race, sex, sexual orientation, marital or family status, trade union activity or other personal matters unless the information is clearly necessary for a lawful, job-related reason and has been approved by HR. Do not invent duties, qualifications or organisational facts. Flag any question that needs HR review. Keep the questions focused on evidence relevant to the role, and separate essential criteria from desirable ones.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
