As of 13 August 2026, AI can write interview questions for a UK 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, chat-fluent skill, 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 role title, responsibilities, essential criteria, desirable criteria, seniority and any stated interview format.
   2. Remove confidential candidate information and paste the role details into the prompt under the matching bracketed sections.
   3. Add the planned interview length, stage and interviewer roles, then run the prompt in a chatbot.
   4. Compare every drafted question with the job description and delete questions that do not test a stated criterion or that ask for personal information unrelated to the work.
   5. Give the draft to another interviewer and ask them to check that the scoring examples are observable, consistent and possible to assess from an interview answer.
   6. Paste the agreed questions and score sheet into the interview pack, brief the panel to ask the same core questions, and record evidence against each criterion.

   Prompt

   Write a structured interview pack for this UK job role.
   
   Role title: [ROLE TITLE]
   Job description: [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]
   Essential criteria: [PASTE ESSENTIAL CRITERIA]
   Desirable criteria: [PASTE DESIRABLE CRITERIA]
   Interview length: [MINUTES]
   Interview stage: [PHONE SCREEN, FIRST INTERVIEW, FINAL INTERVIEW OR OTHER]
   Interviewers: [ROLES OF INTERVIEWERS]
   
   Create:
   1. A short opening script for the interviewer.
   2. Eight competency-based interview questions, each linked to one essential criterion.
   3. Two practical or technical questions where relevant to the role.
   4. One question about motivation that is specific to the role, not a request for personal information.
   5. Two follow-up prompts for each main question that ask for evidence, actions and results.
   6. A simple scoring guide from 1 to 5 for each question, with observable evidence for a weak, acceptable and strong answer.
   7. A final score sheet showing which criteria each question tests.
   
   Use plain UK English. Keep the questions suitable for a structured interview and avoid overlap. Do not ask about age, race, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, family plans, health, nationality, political views or other personal matters unless a lawful job-related requirement is explicitly provided. Do not infer requirements that are absent from the role information. Flag any question that could create fairness, privacy or legal risk instead of silently including it. Separate essential criteria from desirable criteria. Do not invent facts about the employer, role or candidate.

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