How to Write an Interview Plan With AI

By Staffmor Staff

Practical guides from the team building Staffmor.

To write an interview plan with AI, give it the job description and ask for a timed plan in which every question tests a task the role actually involves, with a note on what a good answer shows. Ask every candidate the same core questions. The plan structures the conversation. Choosing who to hire stays with the people responsible for it.

The example is a made-up studio hiring a project coordinator.

Tie questions to the work

The coordinator keeps schedules, records client decisions and prepares handoffs. So the interview should find out how someone handles two deadlines that conflict, and a client who changes their mind halfway through.

Give it the approved job description, the essential tasks and how long the interview is. Use no applicant information to write the plan. It is the same plan for everyone.

The request

The request: "Create a 30-minute interview plan for the project coordinator role described below. Tie each question to a task and say what to listen for in the answer. Use the same core questions for every interview. Do not rank candidates, infer personal traits or state that the plan is legally compliant."

What comes back

5 minutes: explain the role and the current project.
10 minutes: "Two deliveries are due the same day and only one can be met. What do you do, and who decides?"
10 minutes: a made-up client change. Ask the candidate to write a short handoff showing what is approved and what is still open.
5 minutes: their questions, and what happens next.

What to listen for: do they notice what information is missing, protect what the client already approved, and say who owns the decision?

The mistakes to watch for

Scoring confidence. A fluent answer and a correct one are different things. Write down what the candidate said they would do. "Came across well" is a note about delivery.

Different questions for different people. If one candidate gets the deadline question and another gets a chat about their last job, you have nothing to compare. Same questions, same order.

Questions that aren't about the job. If a question doesn't test an essential task, cut it. That goes double for anything about a candidate's personal circumstances.

Before you use it

Check that every question maps to a real task and that the exercise is fair to ask in half an hour. Have whoever is responsible for hiring policy review it. And settle the job description first. You can't test for a role whose duties are still undecided.

Run it in your Staffmor office

Open the office on the computer running it with its Start Staffmor launcher. If you already have a paired web office, open it here. Paste this request and the source material into the conversation. Use your approved Codex connection, or ask your open Claude Code session to "Check Staffmor for work." A saved request is not a completed result. Review the answer or file when it comes back and reply with corrections. Ask it to list which task each question tests, so gaps are easy to see.

Staffmor prepares the plan. Interviewing, evaluating and deciding stay with the people responsible. New to Staffmor? Set up your office with Codex or Claude Code and an empty folder. Use your own supported AI account and approve the download, office activation and local folder/network access during setup. Claude Code pickup is manual; keep that local session open.
