Frequently asked questions
What makes a good set of interview questions?
A structured, role-specific set asked of every candidate: a mix of past-behaviour ("tell me about a time…"), situational ("what would you do if…") and practical questions, scored on the same criteria. Consistency and job-relevance matter more than clever questions.
How is this different from the interview question bank?
The interview question bank is a reusable, capability-organised tool you adapt to any role. These pages are role-specific interview preparation and evaluation — what to assess, which questions fit the role, red flags, follow-ups and scorecard considerations for that one job. Use them together: the bank for breadth, the role page for depth.
Are these questions legally safe to ask?
They focus on the job and the competencies it requires, and deliberately avoid age, family, religion, nationality, health and other protected characteristics. Employment law varies by jurisdiction, so confirm equal-opportunity requirements with qualified professionals before finalising your process.
Should I ask every candidate the same questions?
Yes. A consistent, structured interview is fairer and far easier to compare. Decide your questions and scorecard in advance, ask the same core set of everyone, and record evidence against the same criteria.
Is this legal hiring advice?
No. These are practical, educational interview resources, not legal advice. Confirm any legal requirements for your jurisdiction with qualified professionals.
