AI School Leadership Minute: No more improvising interview questions

AI School Leadership Minute: No more improvising interview questions
Busy times can lead to interviews being built on the fly. When every candidate gets slightly different questions, it’s harder to compare them.

Use AI to generate a structured interview guide before the interview begins. This ensures every candidate is evaluated using the same questions and scoring rubric.

How to do it today:
1. Open ChatGPT or Gemini and paste this prompt in:
“Act as an HR specialist for a public school district who designs evidence-based, bias-reduced interview guides. Create a structured interview guide with:
1) 5-7 core questions tied to role competencies
2) 2-3 scenario-based follow-ups
3) A simple 1-5 scoring rubric per question
4) A short summary of what strong answers might include
Deliver it in a copy-paste-ready format. Here’s what you need to know:
- Role being hired: [Insert title]
- Core skills or traits to evaluate: [Insert priorities - e.g., classroom management]
- District or school values to align with: [insert school values]”
2. Replace the [square bracket placeholders] with your details.
3. Use the generated guide during the interview so every candidate is evaluated using the same questions and scoring rubric.
