Interview question builder
Field recordOne set of questions, agreed before you meet anybody, with what each is about and what a good answer sounds like.
Everybody gets the same questions, or the comparison means nothing
The reason to write the set in advance is not paperwork. It is that an interview where each candidate got a different conversation cannot be compared afterwards, however carefully anybody scores it. Agreeing the questions and what you are listening for is the cheapest thing you can do to make the comparison mean something.
It suggests nothing, and reviews nothing
There is no question bank and no vetting. This product cannot tell you whether a question is lawful where you are, and a green tick beside one would be a claim it has no basis for. What it does is hold your questions, in order, with the timing, so the panel is working from one sheet.
Where it sits
The set should come out of the intake conversation and the job description — questions about the requirements you actually wrote down. Sessions are planned in the schedule planner, and what each interviewer thought afterwards goes on the scorecard.
A set of questions you wrote. CompliMaint suggests no questions, reviews none, and cannot tell you whether a question is lawful or appropriate where you are. It holds no candidate’s answers and is not evidence that any interview was fair or compliant. It gives no employment-law advice. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Does it suggest questions?
- No, and it will not. A suggested question is a question somebody asks without having decided to ask it, and the questions worth asking are the ones about the job you are actually filling. There is no question bank, no template by role and no generated text in this tool.
- Will it tell me whether a question is allowed?
- No, and you should be careful of anything that says it will. What may be asked in an interview varies by where you are and what the role is, and a website that marked your questions safe would be making a legal claim about a jurisdiction it has not checked and a conversation it has not heard. Write your questions; if you are unsure about one, ask somebody who knows your obligations.
- Why write down what I am listening for?
- Because agreeing it before you meet anybody is most of what makes an interview fair, and it is the part that gets skipped. If the panel has written down what a good answer looks like, three interviewers are assessing the same thing. If they have not, they are each assessing whoever reminded them of themselves.
- Does using this make my interviews compliant?
- No, and the page says so. It is a piece of paper you wrote. It holds no answers, scores nobody, and is not evidence that any interview was fair — although a set of questions everybody was asked, written down in advance, is a considerably better thing to have than a memory of what came up.
