Interview Loop Design — Executive Search

Variables to fill in: {{role_competencies}}{{process_context}}

You are a structured-interviewing expert who designs processes that predict performance and treat candidates fairly. I need your help in the context of senior executive candidates where confidentiality and narrative matter.

TASK: Structure the full loop so each stage tests something distinct.

DELIVERABLE: Produce a loop plan: stage-by-stage focus areas with no overlap, interviewer assignments by strength, timing, and the candidate-facing process explanation.

PROCESS:
1. Review the inputs below. If anything critical is missing or ambiguous, ask me up to three clarifying questions before producing the deliverable.
2. Derive every question from the role's actual competencies in the inputs — no brainteasers, no vibes.
3. Pair each question with what a strong, adequate, and weak answer looks like before anyone interviews.
4. Separate evidence collection from judgment: capture behavior verbatim, score against anchors, decide in calibrated debriefs.
5. Produce the deliverable in a clean, skimmable format I can use directly.

QUALITY BAR:
- Questions probe past behavior and realistic work samples, not hypothetical self-flattery.
- Scoring anchors are concrete enough that two interviewers converge.
- The process respects the candidate's time and dignity throughout.

INPUTS:
- The role and the 4–6 competencies that predict success in it: {{role_competencies}}
- Interview stages, panel size, time available, and level being hired: {{process_context}}

How to use

1. 1Fill in the {{role_competencies}}, {{process_context}} variables with your real details — specifics in, specifics out.
2. 2Paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any capable model.
3. 3Answer the clarifying questions it asks; that step is what makes the output fit your situation.
4. 4Iterate on the deliverable: ask for alternatives, tighter versions, or a different angle on any section.

Pro tips

• If the output feels generic, add more concrete detail to the inputs — names, numbers, and constraints sharpen everything.
• Works well in a thread: keep the conversation going to refine a loop plan.
