ChatGPT

ChatGPT generates a wider range of behavioral and situational questions tied to specific competencies, and Indeed itself recommends it as the go-to for hiring managers (2026 Indeed Hire). It's especially strong at generating role-specific probing follow-ups, which is what separates a useful interview from a checkbox interview.

Prompt template
Generate interview questions for this role:

Role: [JOB TITLE]
Level: [ENTRY / MID / SENIOR / STAFF / LEADERSHIP]
Job description: [PASTE FULL JD HERE]

I need:
1. 3 behavioral questions tied to the top responsibilities (use STAR format prompts)
2. 2 situational/scenario questions specific to this role
3. 2 technical or domain questions appropriate for the level
4. 1 question that surfaces how the candidate handles disagreement or failure
5. For each question: a brief note on what a strong answer looks like

Avoid:
- Generic openers like "tell me about yourself"
- Trick questions or puzzles
- Anything that screens for cultural sameness rather than capability
- Questions that have a "right" answer the candidate can google in advance

Format: Numbered list. Question first, then "Strong answer signals:" with 2-3 bullets.

Better when you want fewer but deeper questions, with stronger reasoning about what each question reveals. Slower to draft a full set but produces sharper individual questions.

Frequently asked

  • How many interview questions should I prepare?

    For a 45-minute interview: 6-8 prepared questions, with room for 2-3 follow-ups each. For a 60-minute interview: 8-10. More than that and you'll rush — interviews need time for the candidate to actually think.

  • Should I ask the same questions to every candidate?

    Yes for the core questions — that's what makes the interview structured and comparable. Adapt the follow-ups based on their answers. Unstructured interviews are about 50% less predictive of job performance than structured ones.

  • Can I just paste the job description into ChatGPT and get questions?

    You can, but generic JD-only prompts produce generic questions. Add the seniority level, what success looks like in the role, and any specific challenges the team is facing — that's what produces questions that actually surface signal.
